Research direction
This issue requests NTLM authentication support in the flutter webview plugin. No implementation details or maintainer response exists. To proceed, investigate how native WebView (Android Java/iOS) handles NTLM authentication, likely requiring custom URL loading delegates or authentication challenge handlers. The solution would involve adding platform specific code in the plugin's native parts. Since the issue is from 2019 and stale, a contributor should first verify if the current plugin version supports NTLM and then propose a concrete implementation approach.
