.IP CURLAUTH_GSSNEGOTIATE
HTTP GSS-Negotiate authentication. The GSS-Negotiate (also known as plain
\&"Negotiate") method was designed by Microsoft and is used in their web
applications. It is primarily meant as a support for Kerberos5 authentication
but may also be used along with other authentication methods. For more
information see IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt.
.IP CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE
HTTP Negotiate (SPNEGO) authentication. Negotiate authentication is defined
in RFC 4559 and is the most secure way to perform authentication over HTTP.
