[PATCH] Repacing libntlm

Hello!

I wrote a KNTLM class to replace libntlm. This has three advantages:
- True unicode usernames and passwords can be used.
- It supports NTLMv2 authentication.
- No external dependency needed.

I attached the patches, and some new files. These are:
- The libkntlm library (in kdelibs/kio/misc).
- The endiannes-conversion header (which is a generic thing, I posted here
some days ago for inclusion in kdelibs/kdecore).
- kdecore/kmdcodec is extended with an MD4 hashing implementation.
- kioslave/http uses the new class. NTLMv2 setup is a bit rough (a define in
http.c), this must be replaced.

If there will no objections, I will commit soon.

Bye,
György

Re: [PATCH] Repacing libntlm

This sounds like a great approach.

I like it, but I wonder if some of this could be pushed down into QCA 
(kdesupport/qca).  It already has MD4, and probably DES (if I knew where to 
look).

QCA has no plain DES hook, but it does have TripleDES.  The only reason DES 
isn't in there is because it is known to be weak (the same reason that MD2, 
SHA0, etc, were not in QCA initially).  But if it's needed, adding another 
hook is easy.

[patch] minicli sizing

Currently minicli disallows resizing, which is a pitty if I want to view/edit 
a long URL before I start konqueror.
The following patch solves this.
It let's the user resize minicli as he likes and also keeps the selected size 
between a show/hide cycle.

OK to commit ?

Nope. This has been hashed over a million times before. Please search 
the mailing lists for those discussions. With your change, the size of the 
combobox will grow infinitely with the size of the URL which is worse. BTW, 
why could you not edit a long URL with the current fixed size ?

Re: KGet maintainer

Hi, 

I have been working with Qt/KDE related development for the last 4 years,
and have worked on a p2p application for KDE among others (QuickDC - It's 
dead, now for various reasons :).

I have some spare time for the next few months, and would 
like to participate on this. The current KGet has annoyed me a few times and 
I've looked into adding bittorrent support for it.

What would you like me to do? 

Cheers

Hm ..., did not find anything.

Can you tell me details, please? When will it grow (by doing what) ?
I can't see why it should.

It's not the question of "if", it's the question of "how userfriendly" it was.

Also, it seems to me that the "fixed size" approach is not done "by design", 
but instead to work around a different problem (which you described above).
I was trying to solve this in a clean way (probably I failed, but then please 
give me a test case where it does not work and I'll try to improve it).

P.S.: my use case:
I have always the problem that I receive emails with long URLs from broken 
mailers which break the URL in several lines. So I copy/paste this into 
minicli and try to find the blanks and then remove them.
On being able to resize minicli, I have a much better overview and don't have 
to scroll inside the combo.
Also, a non-resizeable dialog always reminds me on the borked MS

No, it's the specification of the kcfg file format and it certainly is 
meant to be used for validating the kcfg files (I do know it, because I 
wrote the DTD in the first place including the rule for the order of 
the tags).

The only thing which might need to be fixed is the constraint on the 
order of the elements. If somebody knows a way to do this, I'm fine 
with changing it.

Independent of that we really should fix the XML files to be valid 
according to the existing DTD (Hey, we even have a patch for that 
already) otherwise we loose the ability to reasonably validate the XML 
files and that would be a pity because it's so simple and ensures that 
the files are at least syntactically correct.

It's very easy to replace the MD4 and DES in KNTLM, but kdelibs should not 
depend on QCA yet. But if the moving to QCA starts, I will happily convert 
libkntlm to it.
