.TH CURLOPT_USERPWD 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_USERPWD \- set user + password to work with
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, char *userpwd);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a zero terminated login details string
for the connection. The format of which is: [user name]:[password].

When using NTLM, you can set the domain by prepending it to the user name and
separating the domain and name with a forward (/) or backward slash (\\). Like
this: "domain/user:password" or "domain\\user:password". Some HTTP servers (on
Windows) support this style even for Basic authentication.

When using HTTP and \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP, libcurl might perform
several requests to possibly different hosts. libcurl will only send this user
and password information to hosts using the initial host name (unless
\fICURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3)\fP is set), so if libcurl follows locations to
other hosts it will not send the user and password to those. This is enforced
to prevent accidental information leakage.

Use \fICURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3)\fP to specify the authentication method for HTTP
based connections or \fICURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3)\fP to control IMAP, POP3 and
SMTP options.

The user and password strings are not URL decoded, so there's no way to send
in a user name containing a colon using this option. Use
\fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP for that, or include it in the URL.
