CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD - user name and password to use for proxy authen-
tication
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, char *userpwd);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to
use for the connection to the HTTP proxy. Both the name and the pass-
word will be URL decoded before use, so to include for example a colon
in the user name you should encode it as %3A. (This is different to how
CURLOPT_USERPWD(3) is used - beware.)
Use CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH(3) to specify the authentication method.
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
this option.
DEFAULT
This is NULL by default.
PROTOCOLS
Used with all protocols that can use a proxy
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:8080");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "clark%20kent:superman");
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY
Always
RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if proxies are supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not,
or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
