CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD(3)

CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD3

Passphrase for the proxy private key

Usage

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, char *pwd);

Overview

This option is for connecting to an HTTPS proxy, not an HTTPS server.

Pass a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used as the password required to use the CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY(3) private key. You never need a pass phrase to load a certificate but you need one to load your private key.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

Default

NULL

Protocols

Used with HTTPS 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, "https://proxy:443");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, "superman");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

Return value

Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
