Hi Rob As of version 4.4 HttpClient is likely to be able to authenticate transparently with NTLM when running on a Windows OS For the time being you can checkout and build the source of Windows specific auth schemes from here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/trunk/httpclient-win/ Please note they are still considered experimental and as such are not supported. However, I would be very interested to know if you succeed in getting them work.
