CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3)             libcurl            CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3)


NAME

       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.

       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.
