Thanks a lot for your answer, it means that even if I get the hash value (In a windows only way) there is no way to set it to HTTPClient to correctly connect my client under this circunstances when the client is running on windows OS???

There is no way to do it. No way that is platform independent at all, and no way for the Windows platform specifically that does not require rewriting the whole NTLM authentication code. If you don't believe me, feel free to analyze the JDK code for the Windows platform. They don't get the user and password. They only get a hash, which is then used somewhere deep in the NTLM authentication protocol. And getting the hash of course relies on some native code. cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
