pycurl uses libcurl and libcurl is what does the NTLM and SSPI stuff.

pycurl is a layer on top of libcurl, so pycurl is of course bound to use
whatever the libcurl underneath it supports. If that libcurl is built without
SSPI, then so it is. That's not a limitation of pycurl though but in the
particular build of libcurl that you're using.

Is there any pycurl devs who care for that bug tracker? I thought pycurl so
far was done using the sourceforge tools.

Easy or not, that's your solution.

Besides, libcurl 7.18.2 has at least three known security vulnerabilities and
there have been 366(!) bug fixes since that version so I'd say there exist
more reasons to upgrade...
