NTLM authentication for Windows

[revgum]

It would be nice to have --auth NTLM work.

@revgum Thanks for the suggestion. I'm working on a plugin system for HTTPie that will among other things allow for installing additional auth mechanisms that don't make much sense to be included by default (eg., oAuth). Once that is in place it should be possible to add an NTLM support as well.

I'm not sure if this is in the art of the possible, but it would be nice if there were an option to pick up the NTLM token from the current user session on windows. Would be nice for interactive usage, and if you are using it in a curl-like manner it would be great if I could just make it run under a service account and never have to store a password in the clear.

Is this why HTTPie doesn't work in my office?

Opened 20 USD bounty if you can fix this. https://www.bountysource.com/#issues/81359-ntlm-authentication-for-windows

@jkbr is there any progress on that plugin system?

[hickford]

To be clear, my problem is "httpie doesn't work (times out) behind evil corporate proxy (that requires windows ntlm authentication)". Maybe I should create a separate issue? It's unclear whether OP wants authentication against the endserver or a proxy.

Edit: Done #159

I am not the right person to be asking honestly. Ask @jkbr on httpie and maybe just submit a PR for him to review.

Current master now supports auth plugins. NTLM plugin: https://github.com/jkbr/httpie-ntlm
