I see. Lotus Expeditor?

OK. SSL connections over a proxy with NTLM authentication is about
the most complex scenario for connecting that you can get. I dimly
remember some discussions a few years ago, maybe on the old list.
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-commons-httpclient-dev/
But I think the problems were resolved.

Yes, it should.

Not yet. But I don't trust the error message. Is bugs.eclipse.org
running an IBM HTTP Server or is your proxy generating a misleading
error message? Have you made sure that the proxy requires only
NTLMv1 and not NTLMv2? Have you tried switching the proxy to
basic authentication?

> Any suggestions?

Please generate and post a wire log.
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/logging.html

I'll see what I can make of it. If I can't help, you may
have to wait a few days until somebody else can jump in.

cheers,
  Roland
