The easiest way is to define the DEBUG_ME define in lib/http_ntlm.c and read
the verbose output from that.

Right, libcurl doesn't support NTLMv2 so there's no surprise there.

Sure, VERBOSE and DEBUGFUNCTION will show headers and the code in
lib/http_ntlm.c should be able to offer some hints on how to interpret things
- at least as long as they are NTLMv1 or generic NTLM (if there is any such
thing!).
