[jcifs] Occasionally NTLM Filter fails...Please Help.

[Michael B Allen]

Again, it's literally been like 7 years since I've even looked at the
HTTP Filter code so I'm really not qualified to answer questions about
it. I know how it interacts with the CIFS code and it's security
limitations but otherwise I try to ignore all JCIFS filter questions.

Good luck,
Mike
