I see. The test does:
Class<?> ntlmProxyClass =
Class.forName("sun.net.www.protocol.http.NTLMAuthenticationProxy", true,
NoNTLM.class.getClassLoader());
so that explains it.
In this case I believe it's fair enough to have NTLMAuthentication trigger the
loading of libnet if not loaded already -since we need that library to perform
the class initialization properly.
What you have is good to me.
