Torsten Mielke commented on CAMEL-8788:
---------------------------------------
I could imagine a comment like the following being added
{quote}
Note: camel-http is based on HttpClient v3.x and as such has only limited
support for what is known as NTLMv1, the early version of the NTLM protocol. It
does not support NTLMv2 at all."

Perhaps also linking to
http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/authentication.html#NTLM.
> [doc] camel-http doc should mention that NTLM support is very limited.

> Key: CAMEL-8788
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-8788
> Project: Camel
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.15.2
> Reporter: Torsten Mielke
> Labels: documentation, http, httpclient
>
> The documentation of the [camel-http|http://camel.apache.org/http.html]
> component implies there is full support for NTLM.
> However tests against IIS 8 prove this wrong.
> Further from http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/authentication.html#NTLM
> "NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication is a proprietary, closed
> challenge/response authentication protocol for Microsoft Windows. Only some
> details about NTLM protocol are available through reverse engineering.
> HttpClient provides limited support for what is known as NTLMv1, the early
> version of the NTLM protocol. HttpClient does not support NTLMv2 at all. "
> These limitations on NTLM should be documented on the camel-http component
> doc.
