NAME

6       CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD  - user name and password to use for proxy authen‐
7       tication
8

SYNOPSIS

10       #include <curl/curl.h>
11
12       CURLcode  curl_easy_setopt(CURL  *handle,  CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD,   char
13       *userpwd);
14

DESCRIPTION

16       Pass  a  char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to
17       use for the connection to the HTTP proxy. Both the name and  the  pass‐
18       word  will be URL decoded before use, so to include for example a colon
19       in the user name you should encode it as %3A. (This is different to how
20       CURLOPT_USERPWD(3) is used - beware.)
21
22       Use CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH(3) to specify the authentication method.
23
24       The  application  does not have to keep the string around after setting
25       this option.
26

DEFAULT

28       This is NULL by default.
