.SH NAME
CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD \- user name and password to use for proxy authentication
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, char *userpwd);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be [user name]:[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 user name
you should encode it as %3A. (This is different to how \fICURLOPT_USERPWD(3)\fP is
used \- beware.)

Use \fICURLOPT_PROXYAUTH(3)\fP to specify the authentication method.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH DEFAULT
This is NULL by default.
.SH PROTOCOLS
Used with all protocols that can use a proxy
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();

    CURLcode res;

    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);
  }
}
.fi
.SH AVAILABILITY
Always
