Oleg Kalnichevski commented on HTTPCLIENT-1545:
-----------------------------------------------
Ka-Lok
It is Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 joined to an AD domain. It is a corporate box
with limited privileges and god knows what kind of proprietary tweaks.
Generally I would prefer to have unit tests to not depend on a particular
environmental context or external system dependencies. If the context cannot be
mocked I would rather drop the test case.

> When {{WindowsNegotiateScheme}} authentication fails, it's possible for
> HttpClient to retry the authentication in an endless loop because the
> {{continueNeeded}} flag is not set to {{false}} when authentication fails.
> One possible way of causing authentication to fail is to use a service
> principle name that is outside your Windows domain (e.g., HTTP/EXAMPLE.COM).
