I tried the new properties but they don't work. I don't know where the
new properties come from but the instructions along with the patch
talked only about http.auth.basic.* properties. I do not find any
documentation for http.auth.ntlm.* properties. Are http.auth.ntlm.*
and http.auth.* valid properties? I am new to Nutch and I can't see
the bigger picture of how authentication works. So I am unable to find
any clue to debug the problem. Any help to resolve this problem would
be highly appreciated. Please let me know what logs and debug messages
you require.
