[MJAVADOC-253] Http proxy does not work any more

Description

It appears the update of Wagon Provider in 2.6 is not compatible with Maven 2.0.x. Here is the
email snippet as posted to maven users group (no responses)
I am using Maven 2.0.9 and maven-javadoc-plugin 2.6. I have the "links" configured in my
plugin config. Now all resolution of external links fail (we are behind a proxy not NTLM)
with this:

Aug 12, 2009 12:02:31 AM org.apache.commons.httpclient.auth.AuthChallengeProcessor selectAuthScheme
INFO: ntlm authentication scheme selected
Aug 12, 2009 12:02:31 AM org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector authenticate

The wagon provider appears to have been upgraded to 1.0-beta-6 in the maven-javadoc-plugin 2.6
(as opposed to 1.0-beta-2 in 2.5). I seem to remember that (maybe it is wrong) that wagon 1.0-beta-6
requires Maven 2.1.x and above? If that is the case, I don't understand how the plugin was released with
prerequisite of 2.0.9?
Is there a workaround to disable the default ntlm auth scheme via a magical system property? TIA
