[Pharo-project] Proxy with NTLM authentication?

May 25, 2009

      Hi all,

I would like to use Pharo behind a corporate firewall with a proxy  
with NTLM authentication. Having read the thread "Proxy with  
authentication support" (http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/pipermail/pharo-project/2009-May/008717.html 
) I thought I might try if it works with NTLM. Short version: It  
doesn't. ;-)

Has someone solved that particular problem?

Thanks for your support!

Cheers,
Bernhard

If I do:
HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://www.pieber.com'

    There are two possible causes:
    <ul>
    <li>Your username or password contains non-ASCII characters,
     and the ProxySG is not configured to use the same authentication  
character
     encoding as is being used by your web browser.
    <li>Your username or password is too long.
     (The limits for the username and password are 64 bytes each,
     after being translated to UTF-8.)
    </ul>
