authentication

 Keywords:  NTLM http/s Proxy    |

 Y! messenger during the logon handshaking will make several attempts to
 connect to https://login.yahoo.com changing up the way it authenticates w/
 the proxy server.  I noticed that when sitting behind a proxy server using
 NTLM authentication that Y! messenger works fine but am unable to connect
 with Pidgin.  I'll be attaching packet captures illustrating the
 difference between client behavior.


 There does not seem to be anyway to specify in Pidgin/purple to use NTLM
 authentication during the login handshaking.
