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

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

24If this option is used several times, only the first one is used.
