.SH NAME
CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD \- username and password to use for proxy authentication
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, char *userpwd);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a char pointer as parameter, which should be [username]:[password] to use
for the connection to the HTTP proxy. Both the name and the password are URL
decoded before used, so to include for example a colon in the username you
should encode it as %3A. (This is different to how \fICURLOPT_USERPWD(3)\fP is
used \- beware.)

Use \fICURLOPT_PROXYAUTH(3)\fP to specify the authentication method.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
option.
.SH DEFAULT
NULL
