how to force basic scheme authentication using HttpClient 4.0.2

[Mills, Nick]

I don't want to authenticate with the proxy using NTLM v2 (because it's not 
supported).
So is there a way to force basic authentication in 4.0.2?

I'm stuck with the 4.0.2 version because I'm using WebDriver 2.0a6.

For older 3.x HttpClients we could do:

HttpClient client = new HttpClient();
List authPrefs = new ArrayList(2);
authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.DIGEST);
authPrefs.add(AuthPolicy.BASIC);
// This will exclude the NTLM authentication scheme
client.getParams().setParameter(AuthPolicy.AUTH_SCHEME_PRIORITY, authPrefs);

Am I able to do something similar with 4.0.2?

Thanks,
