CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD(3)   Library Functions Manual   CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD(3)


NAME

       CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD - password to use with proxy authentication


SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD, char *pwd);


DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be pointing to the
       null-terminated password to use for authentication with the proxy.

       The CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD(3) option should be used in conjunction with
       the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME(3) option.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting
       this option.

       Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the
       previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again.


DEFAULT

       blank
