- Igor Novoseltsev brought a patch that introduced two new options to

curl_easy_setopt: CURLOPT_USERNAME and CURLOPT_PASSWORD that sort of
  deprecates the good old CURLOPT_USERPWD since they allow applications to set
  the user name and password independently and perhaps more importantly allow
  both to contain colon(s) which CURLOPT_USERPWD doesn't fully support.

Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for
the connection to the HTTP proxy. Use \fICURLOPT_PROXYAUTH\fP to decide
authentication method.
.IP CURLOPT_USERNAME
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated
user name to use for the transfer.
The CURLOPT_USERNAME option should be used in same way as the
\fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP is used. In comparison to \fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP the
CURLOPT_USERNAME allows the username to contain colon, like in following
example: "sip:user@example.com". Note the CURLOPT_USERNAME option is an
alternative way to set the user name. There is no meaning to use it together
with the \fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP option.
In order to specify the password to be used in conjunction with the user name
use the \fICURLOPT_PASSWORD\fP option. (Added in 7.19.1)
.IP CURLOPT_PASSWORD
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated
password to use for the transfer.
The CURLOPT_PASSWORD option should be used in conjunction with
as the \fICURLOPT_USERNAME\fP option. (Added in 7.19.1)
.IP CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH
Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl what
authentication method(s) you want it to use. The available bits are listed
below. If more than one bit is set, libcurl will first query the site to see
what authentication methods it supports and then pick the best one you allow
it to use. For some methods, this will induce an extra network round-trip. Set
the actual name and password with the \fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP option. (Added in
