NTLM authentication and Wininet.dll dependency
-
Hi all In order to implement NTLM authentication we have implemented code which requires support of Wininet.dll which ships with IE . The problem is - the behavior of our HTTP connections faces problems due to different versions of wininet.dll . All of a sudden we find that our application is at the mercy of the build versions of wininet.dll . is there any other way , other than being dependent on wininet.dll , to support NTLM authentication ?

Is this in a client application? If it is, you probably want to look for an SSPI library - I believe that's how (for example) Firefox and Chrome implement NTLM authenticaiton in their browsers. I found the one I had vague memories of - neon[^] is an HTTP client library that includes SSPI (including NTLM) authentication.
Java, Basic, who cares - it's all a bunch of tree-hugging hippy cr*p
