I don't have an NTLM server to test against at this point, but from
looking at the code you might want to try (with the original
httpclient.rb) calling set_auth on the client rather than passing in
an extra header, thusly:

CERT_FILE = "c:/certs/jim_nopw2.pem"
CA_CERT = "c:/ca_certs/servers_ca.cer"

require 'rubygems'
require 'httpclient'  # using v2.1.2 and rubyntlm 0.1.1 installed

client = HTTPClient.new
client.ssl_config.set_trust_ca(CA_CERT)
client.ssl_config.set_client_cert_file(CERT_FILE, CERT_FILE)

client.set_auth(nil, 'DOMAIN\username', 'password')

resp = client.get("https://some_website.com/default1.asp")
puts resp.content
puts resp.status

I think I'll be able to play with this once I'm back at work tomorrow.
I'll post more if I can get it working. As you said, all the pieces
are there, it's just a matter of figuring out how to use them
correctly.
