----------------------------------------------------------------
I could imagine a comment like the following being added to the "Authentication
and Proxy" section of the camel-http documentation.
{quote}
Note: camel-http is based on HttpClient v3.x and as such has only [limited
support|http://hc.apache.org/httpclient-3.x/authentication.html#NTLM] for what
is known as NTLMv1, the early version of the NTLM protocol. It does not support
NTLMv2 at all."

I am happy to add this note to the documentation if there is agreement.

Perhaps also linking to

> [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.
