----------------------------------------------

Hi,

I'm desperately searching for something which helps with platform-independent 
SPNEGO authentication on a higher level. I tried the Spring 
KerberosRestTemplate and while debugging I stumbled about the bug described in 
HTTPCLIENT-1972. This way I came to this umbrella ticket. However, it's still 
marked with fix-version 'stuck'

Then I saw there was some movement in HC 5 Beta releases (e.g. 
org.apache.hc.client5.http.impl.auth.SPNegoScheme). Is this stuff already 
working/production-ready? Are there any examples on using HttpClient 5.x with 
SPNEGO (using a key tab file) publicly available?

Best regards

> The current implementation does not reflect the way GSS-API-based 
> authentication should be done. It has several design flaws.
> This is an umbrella task for:
> 1. Deprecate all old classes
> 2. Investigate how it has to be plugged into HttpClient
> 3. Reimplement from scratch
> 4. Thoroughly test all new stuff
> 5. Rewrite documentation
> Design notes are canonically available under:
