Has anyone actually got this working?
How about with IIS6 and Windows Server 2003?
I tried to implement this into a web spider that searches our internal site
that uses Integrated Windows Authentication and it always fails using the
documented implementation.
V/r,
Charles

Subject: RE: LWP and authentication not working with IIS
I'm already using Basic authentication. I went to look for that NTLM module
anyway and found an example of how to use it. It showed a sample of how to
use the credentials() method, which, as it turns out, I was not passing
correct parameters to. :-) The first parameter must have a ":80" at the
end of it or it won't work properly:
$ua->credentials('www.somewhere.com:80', 'www.somewhere.com', 'username',
'password');
Doh!
Thanks for your help...

I believe Windows requires NTLM authentication (aka Windows
Challenge/Response) to access NTFS protected directories. LWP uses Basic
authentication by default, so that's why it didn't work.
You could either (1) Configure IIS to protect the pages using Basic
authentication instead of using Windows security settings, or (2) Configure
LWP to perform NTLM authentication (try the LWP::Authen::NTLM module).
