Hi First of all thanks for the great library. As a core Gradle developer, I really appreciate the power and flexibility that comes with HttpClient. (Gradle made the switch from java.net.URL based downloading to using HttpClient over a year ago.)
While it seems to work most of the time, occasionally we have users who are not able to authenticate to a proxy using NTLM. (We are using JCIFS-based NTLMEngine). At first I thought this was just a protocol problem, but working with a user recently I'm not so sure. This user reports that they are able to authenticate to their proxy over NTLM with test code using the DefaultHttpClient, but are not able to using the SystemDefaultHttpClient after setting what look like the correct properties. They are also unable to use Gradle to authenticate to the proxy. Since Gradle is using the SystemDefaultHttpClient under the covers, I'm interested in how this could make a difference, and whether this could be the cause of this user's problems with Gradle. The relevant code and output is here: --------------------------------------------------------------- Using org.apache.http.impl.client.DefaultHttpClient (working) * Code : https://gist.github.com/77f7f4278612d38cb554 * Logs : https://gist.github.com/42057219f8903f3b92d2 Using org.apache.http.impl.client.SystemDefaultHttpClient * Code : https://gist.github.com/99f166b73f60176bab39 * Logs : https://gist.github.com/7f2c4af8b6532f8e9d0c The input proxy credentials are same for both the tests. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I've looked at the code/output but I'm not sure what could be causing the differences. My suspicion is ProxySelectorRoutePlanner, but I don't know how that could affect authentication. Any hints?
