11 CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, long bit‐
12 mask);
13
15 Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl
16 which HTTP authentication method(s) you want it to use for your proxy
17 authentication. If more than one bit is set, libcurl will first query
18 the site to see what authentication methods it supports and then pick
19 the best one you allow it to use. For some methods, this will induce an
20 extra network round-trip. Set the actual name and password with the
21 CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3) option.
22
23 The bitmask can be constructed by or'ing together the bits fully listed
24 and described in the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3) man page.
