Re: How to get back "NTLM authentication required" from http_getauth()?

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

I don't understand why you want the peNTLM parameter to be 
"unofficial"?  Why not make it a part of the base HTTPAPI distribution 
so that it will always be there and available to everyone who wants to 
use NTLM authentication?
