Ryan McKinley commented on HTTPCLIENT-1394:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks for looking at this Oleg -- i was away for the holiday weekend.

What do you think about changing "winauth-jni" to "httpclient-jna" to match the 
other packages?  perhaps "httpclient-win" or "httpclient-native".  In addition 
to using JNA for authentication, it would also make sense to read the system 
proxy settings etc

Also note that JNA != JNI -- JNA allows access to native functions *without* 
writing C++ code


----

> The release of this feature will have to wait until a decision about Java 1.5 
> compatibility for HttpClient is taken.

Anything you want/need me to do?  I could move the whole thing to waffle 
release until it is possible to integrate here

thanks

> HttpClient has made great progress in supporting NTLM and Negotiate, but the 
> setup often requires considerable configuration.  Using native calls, we can 
> authenticate the current logged in user directly via windows with no
