That depends on what you're using. If you're using QTcpSocket, then you 
can't connect to NTLMv2 using Qt's proxy support. However, you can roll 
out your own proxy support at that level.

If you're using QNetworkAccessManager, then you should be able to set the 
Proxy-Authenticate headers in the request and do NTLMv2 authentication 
manually.

That signal is emitted whenever you configured for a proxy and the 
authentication failed. If you used setUser and the username and password 
were not accepted, it would cause the signal to be emitted too (I think).
