      8 Enables NTLM authentication. The NTLM authentication method was designed by
      9 Microsoft and is used by IIS web servers. It is a proprietary protocol,
     10 reverse-engineered by clever people and implemented in curl based on their
     11 efforts. This kind of behavior should not be endorsed, you should encourage
     12 everyone who uses NTLM to switch to a public and documented authentication
     13 method instead, such as Digest.

     15 If you want to enable NTLM for your proxy authentication, then use
     16 --proxy-ntlm.

     18 If this option is used several times, only the first one is used.
