Authentication

[Matthias]

I am very intrigued by the amount of work you put into this project
and the relative clarity of the project and implementation, it all
looks very nice.

I would like to know though, whether there are any current plans on
implementing NTLM,Kerberos,Basic Authentication ? You did talk a about
providing hooks one time and that it might also not be difficult to
integrate it.

Did anybody implement Kerberos, NTLM, Basic Authentication with
kayak ? I might be willing to invest some time, though it would not
have a high priority, since we currently use a simple webserver with
Rx and HttpWebRequest which works fine for now. But Kayak looks like
a better fit down the road. Still, for intranet scenarios windows
integrated authentication is absolutely a must .

Keep up the good work,
cheers,
matthias

Thanks! :)

I don't see this being a part of the Kayak core, but it should be trivial to implement atop Kayak. I would suggest doing it as an OWIN middleware. Check out the OWIN spec (http://owin.org/spec.html) and also the Gate project (http://github.com/owin/gate).

See this post I just made for an example of how that could look from a configuration standpoint: http://groups.google.com/group/net-http-abstractions/msg/08556953669083e8
