Description
This request is also described here: [Beats Issue 5237 - Heartbeat support for NTLM auth](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/5237)
We have many internal Corp URLs that are single sign-on with Windows Authentication / NTLM. This is a pretty widespread use case for shops doing observability for internal applications. A good example is SharePoint but we have many apps that use NTLM auth.
thanks

Research direction
Start with the linked Beats issue 5237 and Heartbeat's basic URL up/down testing entry point. Review how authentication is currently handled and define success as reliably checking internal URLs that use Windows Authentication/NTLM, including SharePoint-style applications.
