Hey all. I’m somewhat new to Ruby, and need to login to an IMAP server  
that uses NTLM authentication. It doesn’t look like RIT supports this  
method of authentication. Does anyone have any advice as far as adding  
support for this protocol?

I tried a quick and dirty port of the perl counter-part  
([NTLM.pm - metacpan.org](http://search.cpan.org/src/MARKBUSH/NTLM-1.02/NTLM.pm)), but I’m  
running into some trouble. Has anyone else attempted this? Any ideas on  
where to start?
