| Enables NTLM authentication. The NTLM authentication method was designed by |
| Microsoft and is used by IIS web servers. It is a proprietary protocol, |
| reverse-engineered by clever people and implemented in curl based on their |
| efforts. This kind of behavior should not be endorsed, you should encourage |
| everyone who uses NTLM to switch to a public and documented authentication |
| method instead, such as Digest. |
| |
| If you want to enable NTLM for your proxy authentication, then use |
| --proxy-ntlm. |
| |
| If this option is used several times, only the first one is used. |
