If you'd like to see example NTLM authentication code (from a
library I wrote for use when talking to the Exchange IMAP)
server, you can look at:

  ftp://ftp.vis.com/users/grante/stuff/libntlm-0.21.tar.gz

It includes some C language command-line test utilities to
generate/decode Base64 NTLM frames.

I don't know exactly how you transfer them back and forth w/
HTTP, but I'm betting the base64 encoded frames are identical.
