I am looking for the path of least resistance for doing NTLM authentication in a Go HTTP request using the system credentials of the Windows user calling the application.
In C#/.NET, I would be able to achieve this through
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(url);
request.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
Stream receiveStream = response.GetResponseStream();
and in Python, the equivalent result can be obtained through
import win32com.client
h = win32com.client.Dispatch('WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1')
h.SetAutoLogonPolicy(0)
h.Open('GET', url, False)
h.Send()
but I have not been able to find any resources on how to do the same thing in Go. I could of course use a library for NTLM authentication and manually provide a username/password, but the goal here is to avoid ever putting those in.
