CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD - 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

    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);
  }
}
