Support for NTLMv2 would be a very welcome and much appreciated contribution. The trouble is accepting this code may have legal implications for the HttpComponents project and the Apache Software Foundation in general. The NTLMv2 is a proprietary authentication scheme and may be covered by patents held by Microsoft. So, we will have to see how we can accept this code without potentially getting ourselves into a legal trouble. Please open an enhancement request in Jira and attach relevant files to it. We will take it from there. http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT > Maybe it is possible to join me to your team? > We are gladly accepting new contributions and based on merits of those contributions and continued participation in the project invite active contributors to join the project as full fledged members (referred to as committers). However, essentially anyone who takes interest in day to day running of the project and is active on the mailing lists (both user and dev) is treated as a de facto member of the team.
