Hello Oblivion

I wanted to load the contents of a https web page in an intranet with windows authentication.
Is there a similar sample to do it? How would you do it?

In general?

I had to (several times in the past).

1) If you are trying to access from a web site via intranet (and Windows Authentication, using SSO or credential prompt) browsers (FF, Chromium an IE) already support this.
IIRC there was even a FF extention that can simplify the browser configuration.

2) If you want to load the content of a https site programatically, using NTLM/Kerberos (which was what I had to do), don't bother trying anything else, and simply use libcurl https://curl.haxx.se/

It has a very simple interface, good documentation, and plenty of examples. (I'm sorry I can't provide an actual example of my past use cases, as I don't have access to them ATM).

Best regards,
Oblivion
