Are you referring to Karl? I came to this conclusion by looking at the
commit history...
Would you mind pinging him about this? I contribute a lot of time to
open-source and know first-hand how committers hate to be PMed by
non-committers about issues.
Hi Marcel
Yes, that is correct. I was referring to Karl. I am not sure if my
committer status makes any difference when it comes to contacting
anyone off the list. It is considered a fairly blunt violation of the
project etiquette. I do resort to nagging PMC members every once in a
while but I always loathe doing so.
If you are reasonably sure this is a bug in NTLMEngineImpl please
raise
a JIRA
I can't be sure and I wanted to be a good OSS citizen by not creating
a
JIRA issue just to increase the visibility of this problem. I was
hoping
the standalone test case I put together would lower the barrier enough
for people to engage ;-)
This is truly appreciated. I often get rubbed the wrong way by people's
raising JIRAs for what is essentially a support question rather than a
defect report or a change request. In this case however this looks
justified. If it turns out to be not a bug it might well be seen as a
feature request.
If Karl does not react to the JIRA notification on the dev list, you
might want to reference his username in a comment and ask very gently
about his opinion. If he does not react to that, you are out of luck,
and I might have another reason to seriously consider dropping fucking
NTLM support altogether.
Oleg
