On iOS, HTTPClient supports the following authentication methods when the "username" and "password" properties are set: * Basic * Digest * NTLM This can be seen in our iOS code here: https://github.com/appcelerator/APSHTTPClient/blob/768c68283bbbcaae9e7440e7a62e3ba9675b884a/APSHTTPClient/APSHTTPRequest.m#L321 On Android, we only support "Basic" authentication. We should also support "Digest" for feature parity. NTLM is a Microsoft authentication method that would require a Windows IIS machine to test with. I think it's okay to skip NTLM support for now until a customer requests it.
