Daniel Gustafsson 8d67c61c47 curldown: Fix email address in Copyright
The curldown conversion accidentally replaced daniel@haxx.se with
just daniel.se.  This reverts back to the proper email address in
the curldown docs as well as in a few other stray places where it
was incorrect (while unrelated to curldown).

NAME

CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH - HTTP proxy authentication methods

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, long bitmask);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl which HTTP authentication method(s) you want it to use for your proxy authentication. If more than one bit is set, libcurl first queries the site to see what authentication methods it supports and then it picks the best one you allow it to use. For some methods, this induces an extra network round-trip. Set the actual name and password with the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3) option.

The bitmask can be constructed by the bits listed and described in the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3) man page.

DEFAULT

CURLAUTH_BASIC

PROTOCOLS

HTTP

EXAMPLE

int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode ret;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/");
    /* use this proxy */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://local.example.com:1080");
    /* allow whatever auth the proxy speaks */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH, CURLAUTH_ANY);
    /* set the proxy credentials */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "james:007");
    ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}

AVAILABILITY

Added in 7.10.7

RETURN VALUE

Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_NOT_BUILT_IN if the bitmask specified no supported authentication methods.
