Comment #20 on issue 6824 by iambob: No logon prompt for "Integrated  
Windows Authentication" (NTLM) only sites
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6824

Right.  NTLM has been implemented for a while, and I was using it with our  
Intranet
for a while.  (P.S.: Our Intranet is NOT SharePoint... it is custom... but  
it DOES
use NTLM for authentication)  As soon as WinHTTP was removed, the NTLM  
authentication
went with it.

I believe the reason WinHTTP was removed was to make the code-base less  
platform
specific (so it can be more easily ported to Mac/Linux).  Unfortunately, it  
has the
side effect of removing NTLM.  I don't think this was intentional, but I  
also don't
think that many of the testers or developers visit sites that require NTLM,  
so it
went unnoticed during alpha testing but it becoming very evident during  
beta testing.
So, really, if Issue 19 is only about implementing NTLM, then Issue 19  
should have
been closed a long time ago, before this new problem came up.  However,  
when reading
the specifics of Issue 19, it specifically relates to how NTLM  
authentication works
through proxies.
