 With this package, you can connect to http/https servers protected by an NTLM proxy in Golang.
 
-## Example
+This is a fork of https://github.com/Codehardt/go-ntlm-proxy-auth which adds support for HTTPS proxy URLs.
+
+## Example: NewNTLMProxyDialContext
+
+```golang
+// create a dialer
+dialer := &net.Dialer{
+    Timeout:   30 * time.Second,
+    KeepAlive: 30 * time.Second,
+}
+
+// wrap dial context with NTLM
+ntlmDialContext := ntlm.NewNTLMProxyDialContext(dialer, proxyURL, "user", "password", "domain", nil)
+
+// create a http(s) client
+client := &http.Client{
+    Transport: &http.Transport{
+        Proxy: nil, // !!! IMPORTANT, do not set proxy here !!!
+        DialContext: ntlmDialContext,
+    },
+}
+```
+## Example: WrapDialContext (deprecated - does not support HTTPS proxy URL)
