[PEPr] Comment on Authentication::NTLMProxy

Thorsten Rinne (http://pear.php.net/user/thorstenr) has commented on the proposal for Authentication::NTLMProxy. Comment: Hi Philippe, > Name doesn't seem right... HTTP_Proxy_Auth_NTLM ? ouch... I like the short name NTLMProxy. :-) > There's another NTLM proposal in PEPr, in draft status, you may want to > check with that maintainer. yes, but I think this is about authentication, the proposed class does not authenticate, it's just a proxy. > Anyway to integrate with HTTP_Request, or HTTP_Client, Net_Socket and so > on...? (I know there might be a problem with the Keep-Alive...) I do not think this will work due to Keep-Alive... > I think there's a need to split package into HTTP_Proxy with pluggable > authentication modules instead (NTLM being one of them.) This is a nice idea... :-) > Try to avoid all the sprintf(). Use ' (single quotes) and concatenation > instead. Is there a reason for not using sprintf? > Use URLs instead of ip, server, path. I use IP, Server and path to have the possibility to set various stages like development, testing and production environments. > Does this work good without PHP being mod_php in Apache? no, sorry, because of Keep-Alive. -Thorsten Proposal information: http://pear.php.net/pepr/pepr-proposal-show.php?id=396 -- Sent by PEPr, the automatic proposal system at http://pear.php.net
