Mike, I seriously suspect it is just not technically possible. > > HttpClient 4 will provide NTLMv2 support through JCIFS. > > When do you reckon HttpComponents have come this far - a year?

As far as I am concerned NTLMv2 has the lowest priority of all. NTLM is something I'll consider working on only when HttpClient 4.0 is feature complete in all other aspects. So, all those concerned by the lack of NTLMv2 support please consider rolling up the sleeves and putting together an AuthScheme implementation based on JCIFS for HttpClient 3.x. It is perfectly feasible and should not be that difficult to achieve.
