Hello, > So when is 4.0 expected
The first alpha in a few weeks, Oleg is working hard on it. A reasonably stable alpha or the beta hardly before 2008. > and is there a chance that NTLM v2 is also implemented. No, there is no chance. As the authentication guide states: > NT Lan Manager (NTLM) authentication is a proprietary, closed > challenge/response authentication protocol for Microsoft Windows. We're not in a position to sign IP licensing contracts with Microsoft. There is no independent implementation of NTLMv2 available as Open Source Software. The closest thing is jCIFS which has support for LMv2, a subset of NTLMv2. But they are GPL-licensed and not compatible with the Apache License. We can't link to their code without jumping through many loops. There are thoughts about starting a non-Apache project that would add LMv2 authentication via jCIFS. But there is no point in such a project until HttpClient 3.0 has reached at least a minor level of stability. This question is also addressed in our NTLM FAQ: http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-httpclient/FrequentlyAskedNTLMQuestions cheers, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
