The NTLM authentication scheme is designed in such way that it collides with
connection management requirements in HTTP proxies put out by the HTTP
specification.
What this means is basically that any HTTP proxy designed to follow the
HTTP specification cannot proxy requests for NTLM authenticated content.
The NTLM authentication scheme is designed to be used on a local LAN only.
Use over the Internet is both stupid and very dangerous as it may reveal
information about your LAN account.
