summary: Ability to do NTLM authentication in various contexts (eg. proxy)
class: wish: This is a request for an enhancement.
difficulty: taxing: Needs external things we don't have (standards, users etc)
priority: dormant: This is an old feature request that we no longer think is relevant.

Occasionally people ask for support for NTLM authentication in various contexts (e.g. for HTTP proxy authentication).

NTLM authentication appears to be proprietary to Microsoft; what public documentation there is appears to be reverse engineered.

SGT, 2024-11-17: classifying this wish as dormant. NTLM itself is out of date, and as far as we know, considered a liability to deploy on Windows these days. So interoperation with it would no longer be a forward-thinking piece of work; it would be legacy-system support.
