CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3curl_easy_setopt optionCURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH - send credentials to other hosts too
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH,
long goahead);
DESCRIPTION
Set the long gohead parameter to 1L to make libcurl continue to send
authentication (user+password) credentials when following locations,
even when hostname changed. This option is meaningful only when setting
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3).
By default, libcurl will only send given credentials to the initial
host name as given in the original URL, to avoid leaking username +
password to other sites.
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS

curl_easy_perform(curl);
}

Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
