Cannot coexist with savon due to conflict between ntlm-http and rubyntlm; hacked gem binary available

[cielavenir]

I have difficulty with installing both mechanize and httpi (sadly both are loaded via http/ntlm). So could you update ntlm support to rubyntlm?

[cielavenir]

It looks like I should close this issue. So here is a awful hack who already has issues installing httpi or savon. Of course you should not do this as long as you don't install httpi (as dependency).

• Download https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/46196585/mechanize-2.7.3.gem and install it via gem install --local.
• Perform gem install rubyntlm.

As well as savon, I have tested my basic web crawler with configuration. But use this hack at your own risk.

Instead of providing a dropbox download it is better to make a public fork of mechanize with the patch and theb point to this repository

[cielavenir]

So, this gem just drops ntlm-http dependency, so mechanize will crash if savon is not installed. Hence, cannot be merged to mainstream by any ways...

[cielavenir]

Though, it can be said that mainstream should move to rubyntlm, which is frequently maintained.
Or... when the NTLM support will be dropped? I need EITHER.

The next version of Mechanize will depend on rubyntlm (likely 2.8.0).
