hi Christophe, we are definitely interested in your contribution and
would like to include it.
Would you mind opening a bugzilla issue and attach your files there?

Hi Tomcat Developpers!
Few days ago I provided an NTLM Authenticator. My users reported that their
POST requests are now without content.
I traced and I can confirm that, when entering the
NtlmAuthenticator.authenticate method, request.ContentLength() is -1 for GET
transactions (and it works) but it is 0 for POST.
At the very entrance of BasicAuthenticator.authenticate,
request.ContentLength() is -1 for GET transactions (and it works) but the real
length is there for POST.
So I can have 50 GET transactions without any problems : the NTLM
authentication is done once with the first transaction. Then, if a POST comes,
it will be 0 length.
Any idea of what may be happening? As I did not found any real dependency on the word
"BASIC" within Tomcat source, I am wondering if lower level Java Run Time could test
explicitely the authentication method and "forget" to manage the ContentLength? It seems
that some people have problem with FORM authentication. Could it be a similar problem?

The new authenticator class is accessible:
