Marko Asplund commented on HTTPCLIENT-523:
------------------------------------------
I think SPNEGO support would be a very important thing to have in order to be
able to talk to Windows based servers. I'm currently trying to integrate a Java
based web application with Microsoft Sharepoint server and authentication has
proven to be the trickiest part. HttpClient 3.1 only seems to support NTLM v1
which is not enabled by default on Windows servers and administrators don't
usually allow using it.
NTLM autentication works well with HttpClient 4.0 + JCIFS but in many cases
SPNEGO / Kerberos would be much better choice due because many Windows server
administrators prefer that nowadays and because of features such as credential
delegation that are extremely useful in many web applications.
