Sure, reading docs might be boring but I doubt that this information is very
hard to find. Quote from the FAQ:

  4.9. Curl can't authenticate to the server that requires NTLM?

  NTLM is a Microsoft proprietary protocol. Unfortunately, curl does not
  currently support that. Proprietary formats are evil. You should not use
  such ones.

I'll gladly accept patches that bring this functionality.
