Description

I'm using httpClient 4.1.1 (I've tried 4.1 also) but I can't pass my proxy authentication; I'm getting 407 Proxy Error.
On suggestion of Oleg I've tried to use JCIFS library as a NTLM engine and it works; I've used not last jcifs library but 1.2.25 version because parameter in the "new Type3Messages" doesn't match... the last version of jcifs 1.3.15 needs another parameter called "flag".

This is my not working code:
String pc = System.getenv("COMPUTERNAME");
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
NTCredentials creds = new NTCredentials("user","password", pc, "domain");
client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(new AuthScope(AuthScope.ANY), creds);

This is my working code with jcifs:
String pc = System.getenv("COMPUTERNAME");
DefaultHttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
client.getAuthSchemes().register("ntlm", new NTLMSchemeFactory());
client.getCredentialsProvider().setCredentials(
AuthScope.ANY,
new NTCredentials("user","password", pc, "domain"));

with:
class NTLMSchemeFactory implements AuthSchemeFactory {
public AuthScheme newInstance(final HttpParams params)

{ return new NTLMScheme(new JCIFSEngine()); }

}

and JCIFSEngine like specified on http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpcomponents/httpclient/branches/4.0.x/src/site/apt/ntlm.apt
