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 *userpwd);
13

DESCRIPTION

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

DEFAULT
