I don't see how this could be possible, which is quite annoying for us.

The WebDAV client of XXE 4.2.1 and XXE 3.8.1 are totally different but
are based on the same, low-level, HTTP client (http://www.innovation.ch/).

No, because the low-level, HTTP client has not changed between the two
versions.

LDAP is not an authentication scheme. It is a directory service like
NIS,  Active Directory, etc. NTLM is an authentication scheme like BASIC
OR DIGEST. So it is not obvious that the error message
"HTTPClient.AuthSchemeNotImplException: NTLM" is wrong.
