CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD (3) Linux Manual Page

CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD – user name and password to use for proxy authentication

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 password 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.

Default

This is NULL by default.

Protocols

Used with all protocols that can use a proxy

Example

TODO

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.
