Hi Eng (I hope I got your name right)

If you produced the wire log of the HTTP session in question, I believe I could try to 
give you some additional explanations. 

What kind of proxy are you using, by the way? I know for a fact that IIS refuses to 
authenticate using NTLM when proxying through Squid 2.5stable. IIS seems to dislike 
the fact that Squid complies with HTTP/1.0 proxy requirements only, whereas NTLM 
scheme relies on persistent connections that are supported as of HTTP/1.1 only. 
Actually squid does offer support for persistent connections but IIS appears to be 
programmed to squarely reject HTTP/1.0 requests against NTLM protected resources.

Thanks Adrian for your reply.

I managed to get HttpClient working with our proxy server, with the help of
our network people.  According to them, it seems that the IIS server needs
to be enabled with both the 'Basic' and 'Integrated Windows'
authentications on.  Previously, the 'Basic' authentication was not
enabled.

I am not a network guy, so I don't know what's happening.  Maybe someone
out there has an explanation.

HttpClient does support NTLM authentication and it does work with proxies.
There has been a few issues lately so if you're having trouble it would be
worth mentioning the specific problems you're having and we should be able
to help out.

For general info take a look at the authentication guide on the website
(http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/) I believe the specific page
is http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/authentication.html
