[Michael McMahon]

Hi all ,

This is a request to backport a jdk8 fix into jdk7u-dev.
8003948:  NTLM/Negotiate authentication problem

http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=8003948


The fix is already included in jdk8 as:

  http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/fda2b2b5b98b

Reviewed here: 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/net-dev/2012-December/005247.html

The patch for jdk7u-dev is almost identical to the one in jdk8. The 
patch was
contributed by Weijun Wang.

Thanks,

Michael
