(Get the code!)
The unfortunate design flaw that Bazaar made here was to use the plain urllib module for accessing http and https resources.
Such an important tool like Bazaar should have used a more mature and featureful lib for that matter like libcurl is. Git uses libcurl and so adding NTLM support was just a one-liner patch [1], same as the YUM download manager did [2].
The correct fix would be to port Bazaar from urllib to libcurl as it automatically supports NTLM and several other proxy authentication methods [3].
