Hi,

I'm writing to add spnego support to httpclient 3.0 and need of some advice.

I started by writing a NegotiateScheme implementing AuthScheme and using org.ietf.jgss and jaas for authentication. But as a went on I realized that the AuthScheme.authenticate is never called if no credentials are provided thru org.apache.commons.httpclient.Credentials. I can program around this by adding NegotiateDummyCredentials but this is not a very god solution. Can this be done in a better way so that the code get more structure? In tha case of jaas, credentials are provided thru a Subject. see http://www11.informatik.tu-muenchen.de/Java/j2sdkse/guide/security/jgss/tutorials/ClientServer.html
