| 14 | Enables NTLM authentication. The NTLM authentication method was designed by |
| 15 | Microsoft and is used by IIS web servers. It is a proprietary protocol, |
| 16 | reverse-engineered by clever people and implemented in curl based on their |
| 17 | efforts. This kind of behavior should not be endorsed, you should encourage |
| 18 | everyone who uses NTLM to switch to a public and documented authentication |
| 19 | method instead, such as Digest. |

| 21 | If you want to enable NTLM for your proxy authentication, then use |
| 22 | --proxy-ntlm. |
