Can someone pick out features supported by those properties that are supported on a client basis with HttpClient (as opposed to setting system properties)? For instance, if I needed one connection to use NTLM auth, but only that connection, would this mean that all connections using HttpUrlConnection would be forced to use NTLM auth? Would HttpClient allow doing that on a client basis instead? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: httpclient-users-unsubscr...@hc.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: httpclient-users-h...@hc.apache.org
