[Bug-wget] Solution for wget, IIS, and NTLM "500 error" and a question.

[ohaya]

Hi,

When I tested wget with an Windows 2003/IIS6 system, doing an NTLM 
authentication, I was receiving an HTTP 500 error ("Internal error" and 
"doesn't support this function").  

When searching, I didn't really find a good solution, so I was looking at the 
policies that were in the Active Directory Domain Controller and also the Local 
Policies on the IIS machine.  After doing a bit of messing around, I was 
finally able to get the wget NTLM authentication to work, by adjusting the "LAN 
Manager authentication" level on the IIS machine.  

Originally (when wget had the problem) that was set to "Send NTLMV2/refuse LM & 
NTLM", which is the "highest" level.  I changed that to "Send LM and NTLM", and 
bounced the server, and then wget worked.

So, it seems like the problem is that wget may be doing only NTLM?  

Does anyone know if wget (latest version) is able to support NTLMV2 (vs. NTLM)?

Thanks.  I hope this helps someone.
