[jcifs] NTLM + TOMCAT 4.1.18 + IE 6.0 (WINDOWS (98)

[Allen, Michael B (RSCH)]

There was a similar report some time ago. I see one message from Jan 17 for example.
Unfortunately I do not have a very good setup to test this. My Win98 machine is currently
out of the loop and it certainly doesn't have IE6. So I really have no idea how Win98 will
work with the NtlmHttpFilter. I didn't really consider it early on because it was not clear to
me how Win98 clients can 'join' a domain like NT, W2K, and XP. Apparently you can
simulate that behavior enough to satisfy the Filter but I'm not knowlegable in the topic.
The only recourse here is to get packet traces and examine them closely. I currently have
no plans to investigate this futher but if you can supply a packet trace I will at least look
at it. It might be something trivial.
