You're doomed!
The NTLM authentication scheme is a proprietary Microsoft
crap. There is no documentation available on this baby, so
we honest working hackers have to try to reverse engineer
the protocol to be able to support it.
There is work being done on this by some other open source
projects, so Curl might benefit from this eventually, but
is not supporting this at the moment.
Sorry, but no go. Microsoft has its own way of doing things,
as usual...
