I have tried in vain to do NTLM authentication via LWP. Well, via WWW::Mechanize, but that's just LWP underneath.

As in the message Re^2: More NTLM, I am suspecting Microsoft foul (and possibly fowl) play in augmenting the non-standard a little more.

I tried applying the suggested patch from http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=9521 but with the same result.

Is anyone currently having success with code connecting to IIS 5 NTLM authenticated pages?

NB: I am not connecting via a proxy and my code looks like this:

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( keep_alive => 1, );

$mech->credentials( 'theserver.com:80', '', $username, $password );

I have also tried with and without specifying an NT domain.

Update: Here is my (sanitized) lwp debug output:
