Description
Hello, ntlm auth doesn't work:
(def login "login")
(def pass "pass")
(def host "localhost")
(def domain "domain")
;; Works and returns status 200.
(let [nt (NTCredentials. login pass host domain)
creds (doto (BasicCredentialsProvider.) (.setCredentials AuthScope/ANY nt))
client (-> (HttpClients/custom) (.setDefaultCredentialsProvider creds) (.build))
request (HttpGet. "https://foo.com")
response (.execute client request)]
(.getStatusLine response))
;; Doesn't and return status 401
(client/get "https://foo.com" {:ntlm-auth [login pass host domain]})
Curious about why it doesn't work, since code in core.clj is similar to the working version above.

Research direction
Start by reading core.clj and comparing its NTLM credential setup with the working Apache HttpClient example in the issue. Reproduce both requests and inspect why the client library path returns HTTP 401 while the direct client returns 200; done means the :ntlm-auth request succeeds against the reported endpoint.
