When using HTTP and CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, libcurl might perform several

password information to hosts using the initial host name, so if libcurl

those. This is enforced to prevent accidental information leakage.

.B CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD
Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for
the connection to the HTTP proxy. If the password is left out, you will be
prompted for it. \fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP can be used to set your own
prompt function.

.B CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST
Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Digest authentication.
Digest authentication is defined in RFC2617 and is a somewhat more secure way
to do user+password checking over public networks than the regular
old-fashioned Basic authentication. By default, libcurl uses Basic. Set name
and password with the CURLOPT_USERPWD option. (Added in 7.10.6)
.TP
.B CURLOPT_HTTPNEGOTIATE
Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Negotiate authentication.
The Negotiate method was designed by Microsoft and is used in their web
aplications. It is primarily meant as a support for Kerberos5 authentication
but may be also used along with another authentication methods. For more
information see IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt. Set name and
password with the CURLOPT_USERPWD option. (Added in 7.10.6)
