   ·         HTTPAPI only supports the two authentication schemes defined
   in RFC

   ·         2617, which are called "Basic" and "Digest" authentication.

   ·

   ·         NTLM stands for NT LAN Manager.  (NT = Windows NT.  LAN
   Manager is an

   ·         old name for "Windows Networking").   It's a proprietary
   authentication

   ·         mechanism from Microsoft for Windows Networking.  There are
   a few weird

   ·         situations where it has been used in web applications as
   well, but this

   ·         is rather unusual.  Unfortunately, you appear to be in one
   of those

   ·         situations!

   ·

   ·         Anyway, HTTPAPI doesn't support it at this point, and I
   personally have

   ·         no plans to add it.  You may be able to add it yourself --
   if you do,

   ·         we'd welcome you to contribute your code back to the
   project.

   ·


   With reference to above, my question is whether the NTLM
   authentication remains unsupported by HTTPAPI as of 14/03/2011
