Comment #21 on issue 6824 by krtulmay: No logon prompt for "Integrated  
Windows Authentication" (NTLM) only sites
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=6824

Basically, previous posters have said it already: Chrome had gotten NTLM  
authentication
"for free" with winHTTP.  However, that was just a *bonus* side effect, and  
the
developers have *never* considered NTLM authentication as ever having been  
implemented.
@iambob, I think it is incorrect to say that "NTLM had been implemented for  
a while"
because the developers have always known NTLM would "go away" once they  
switched to the
newHTTP stack.

And this has been known from very the beginning because Chrome was *always*  
going to
have its own HTTP stack.  winHTTP was only used at the very beginning to  
quickly get a
first stage browser working and out to market for users to try and get  
feedback for.

Although many of the comments in Issue 19 are about NTLM through proxies,  
this bug is
duplicated to that one because Issue 19 is effectively expanded to be a bug  
about just
plain "implementing NTLM".
