Sorry, I havent't followed your discussion from the start but here's my 5c:
HttpClient has quite limited NTLM support, especially no support for NTLM2 as is used in many enterprise intranets protected by MicroSoft proxies/firewalls. There is NTLM2 support in the Windows JDK since 1.4.2. Just use a standard HttpURLConnection and set the property "http.auth.ntlm.domain" to your NT domain, then you don't need to input any username/password at all as this will be sorted out by the authentication layer. See: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/net/properties.html (But then you will not be using HttpClient at all.) There are commercial libraries for NTLM support on other platforms than Windows, see f ex: http://www.oaklandsoftware.com/product_http/compare.html //Mike > -----Original Message----- > From: David Castañeda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: den 18 september 2006 20:56 > To: HttpClient User Discussion > Subject: Re: NTLM Authentication credentials > > Thanks a lot :( I suppose there are some reasons to be like > this, but I was > hopping it wasn't beause the JDK seems to support it nicely, one more > thing... do you know some sort of similar implementation so I > can solve this > or a post or an article where HttpClient team explains why? > so I can justify > this to my boss? > > Sorry all this trouble.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
