-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This Saturday, I spent some time coding an NTLM authentication module. It can be found on my blog at [http://x2a.org/2006/01/29/update-on-schools-internet-access-libntlm-ruby/](http://x2a.org/2006/01/29/update-on-schools-internet-access-libntlm-ruby/). I am announcing this here in the hope that somebody else might find this useful. I am also wondering if there are any patent concerns over NTLM authentication; if somebody could enlighten me, I would appreciate it very much. Also, I have not found any clean way to integrate NTLM authentication in Net::HTTP since the way ISA does authentication is pretty ugly/non-standard. Thank you for your time, Jonathan -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD4DBQFD3qiKt3/zhzyeO3cRAuxBAJwL8/ppVaU5ghrokqqqKeRp7ghwpgCWNHGz NInQ+kX1jCvOadOT3uDUuw== =jyOc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ---

Intresting this library would help with some apps which I don’t want to create a separate passwd file each time. Tsume ---
