             Summary: NullPointerException during NTLM authentication using 
null workstation/domain
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1381
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1381
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpAuth
    Affects Versions: Snapshot
            Reporter: Ricardo Pereira
            Priority: Minor


Using NTCredentials with null workstation or null domain leads to a 
NullPointerException during the NTLM authentication.

The workaround is to use an empty String for both the workstation and domain.

Exception stack trace of an attempt to authenticate with null workstation:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
