I am looking for the path of least resistance for doing NTLM authentication in a Go HTTP request using the system credentials of the Windows user calling the application.
After digging into it a bit further, it looks like go-ole
can be utilized to make use of WinHTTPRequest in the same way as the Python example in the question. Ignoring all error catching,
package main
import (
"fmt"
ole "github.com/go-ole/go-ole"
"github.com/go-ole/go-ole/oleutil"
)
func main() {
ole.CoInitialize(0)
defer ole.CoUninitialize()
unknown, _ := oleutil.CreateObject("WinHTTP.WinHTTPRequest.5.1")
request, _ := unknown.QueryInterface(ole.IID_IDispatch)
oleutil.CallMethod(request, "SetAutoLogonPolicy", 0)
oleutil.CallMethod(request, "Open", "GET", "http://example.com", false)
oleutil.CallMethod(request, "Send")
resp := oleutil.MustGetProperty(request, "ResponseText")
fmt.Println(resp.ToString())
}
