Description
NTCredentials extends UsernamePasswordCredentials and allows authentication with NTLM proxies, for example MS ISA Server, otherwise only basic authentication is supported. Read http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/authentication.html
Another hint: allow the HttpClient instance to be configured. Many many important parameters could be set: http.socket.timeout, authentication scheme order,...
By the way: is the HttpClientMessageDispatcher a singleton?
