WinHttpClients
In the release notes for 4.4, there is the following:
Native Windows Negotiate and NTLM via SSPI through JNA: when running on
Windows OS HttpClient configured to use native NTLM or SPNEGO authentication
schemes can make use of platform specific functionality via JNA and current
user credentials. This functionality is still considered experimental, known
to have compatibility issues and subject to change without prior notice.
However, the WinHttpClients class seems to work great. Are there known issues, or is this now considered pretty reliable? Is there something similar for the Mac?
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks. I will use it with a bit of caution then. I appreciate their being around, but understand the support issues.

Hi Mark
There are several unresolved issues related to JNA / NTLM via SSPI. You can look them up in Jira.
The main problem is that we have no one capable and willing to develop this module further.
I am glad it has been working working well for you, but there is no way of knowing if it works equally well with all numerous MS products and their combinations.
