CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD - Man Page
username 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 pointer as parameter, which should be [username]:[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 username 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
All
Example
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); } }
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.
