Current status:

So my team is using Selenium WebDriver to test our web application, and it takes balls forever to run on our test browser. Our test browser is Firefox, which, with a name like that, you'd think would be... I dunno, zippy.

Anyway.

I wanted to use PhantomJS to run headlessly, which would increase the speed of the test runs. Sounds good, right? Too bad we're using Windows Authentication. PhantomJS (currently, 20140205) doesn't like NTLM, and neither do I. The only way to pass Windows credentials is to use some sort of proxy.

That's why I wrote this little library.

With a simple using directive it will create a tiny web proxy and naively forward any requests sent to it on to a target URL, with NTLM headers for the current user.

It's pretty simple to use:

    using (var proxy = new NtlmProxy(new Uri("https://localhost:8081/")))
    {
		// Make your requests here to https://localhost:3999/{0}, proxy.Port
    }

You can pass in your own custom options:

    var options = new SimpleHttpServerOptions
	{
	    Port = 3999,
		AuthenticationScheme = AuthenticationSchemes.None
	};

    using (var proxy = new NtlmProxy(new Uri("https://localhost:8081/"), options))
    {
		// Make your requests here to https://localhost:3999/whatever
    }

To see a comprehensive list of options, see the comments for SimpleHttpServerOptions.cs.

You can download the zipped DLL in the Releases section above, or you can use NuGet:

  <package id="MikeRogers.NtlmProxy" version="1.2.1" targetFramework="net45" />

I'm no NTLM expert, but I think after the first authorization challenge the client should be holding onto the credentials and including the appropriate NTLM headers. I'm pretty sure this proxy server won't do that.

I know, right?

As always, we rock the BSD.
