schiznik has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi all.

I have developed a script which puts some files to an ftp server. The second thing it is to do is send a /GET to the server which triggers a process. I have both parts working well except...

My lab is an all Linux one including the firewall while the production environment uses a Microsoft ISA server. I have found my /GET will not pass through the ISA server while in my Linux lab this is not a problem. Here is my question:

Is there someway to authenticate to the ISA server and its NTLM authentication?
Thanks for any and all responses

    Gee, wouldn't it be nice to avoid MS!

    But we can't. So here goes, the question of NTLM authentication seems to be a thirny one wherever it is encountered.

    You might like to try this node: NTLM http authen - basic authen

    A search on the monastery will reveal a few other questions of this nature but not a great deal of discussion.
