Hello again, I was able to build the jars in Maven which was pretty cool (java is my first compiled language and I'm still quite new to it), but I will be unable to test them however as the environment where I have access to a NTLM server to test against is limited to JRE 1.5 :(.
I need to find out how java.net.urlconnection performs ntlm authentication transparently in 1.5 I guess and try to work that into a custom ntlm authentication scheme that I can use with httpclient 4.3.1..somehow! I think I understand ntlm itself well enough at this point, just need to find out exactly where the credentials come from. Thanks again for your help Rob On 2013-12-30 11:05 AM, "Oleg Kalnichevski" <ol...@apache.org> wrote: > On Mon, 2013-12-30 at 10:15 -0500, Rob Goodberry wrote: > > Hello Oleg, > > > > Thank you for your quick reply. > > > > I am excited to hear about the feature coming to 4.4.
