I guess - at least two projects I saw are actually an "NTLM proxy" (talk about a proxy to a proxy *g* ), but integration is always a bitch. I personally would have taken the relevant piece of code from some C based project and junk it in a module for mozilla, and that's it. get the premission of the author to MPL it (which I'm sure won't be a problem) and you're set. Unfortunatly, while I mourn the loss of functionality on the existensial level, I don't have any intention of ever using NTLM (the only thing getting remotly close to NTLM that I might use is OWA which handles HTTP BASIC AUTH just fine), and I'm too busy doing my own stuff. -- Oded ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
