· 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
