NTLM Support in HttpClient 3 and 4

[Himanshu Ranavat <hi...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

I notice that HttpClient 3 only supports NTLMv1 (and not v2) and does not contain an interface NTLMEngine as in HttpClient 4. But HttpClient 4 continues to contain classes like NTCredentials, NTScheme, etc. Does this mean HttpClient 4 supports NTLMv1 but for NTLMv2 support we need to plug in an external NTLM implementation like JCIFS.

Thanks

Himanshu

JCIFS is also required for NTLMv1 for version 4.0 to 4.1-alpha2 of
HttpClient. As of next version (4.1-beta1) HttpClient will ship with an
internal NTLMEngine implementation. Both NTLMv1 and NTLMv2 will be
supported out of the box.
