Description

The SharePoint connector does not always authenticate against the SharePoint instance. The problem may be a bug in commons-httpclient, and a corresponding problem in httpcomponents/httpclient. cURL authenticates just fine, and even when all headers are changed to be identical to what MCF is sending, it continues to authenticate properly.
