CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD3
User name and password to use for proxy authentication
Usage
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, char *userpwd);
Overview
Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for the connection to the HTTP proxy. Both the name and the password are URL decoded before used, 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
Examples
int main(void)
{
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
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");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
}
}
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.
