CURLOPT_USERNAME(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options					       CURLOPT_USERNAME(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_USERNAME - user name to use in authentication

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERNAME,
				 char *username);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass a char * as parameter, which should be pointing to the zero terminated user name to use for the transfer.

       CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) sets the user name to be used in protocol authentication. You should not use this option together with the (older) CUR-
       LOPT_USERPWD(3) option.

       When using Kerberos V5 authentication with a Windows based server, you should include the domain name in order for the server  to  success-
       fully obtain a Kerberos Ticket. If you don't then the initial part of the authentication handshake may fail.

       When  using  NTLM,  the	user  name  can be specified simply as the user name without the domain name should the server be part of a single
       domain and forest.

       To include the domain name use either Down-Level Logon Name or UPN (User Principal Name) formats. For example, EXAMPLEuser and	user@exam-
       ple.com respectively.

       Some HTTP servers (on Windows) support inclusion of the domain for Basic authentication as well.

       To specify the password and login options, along with the user name, use the CURLOPT_PASSWORD(3) and CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3) options.

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

DEFAULT

NAME

       CURLOPT_NETRC - request that .netrc is used

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_NETRC, long level);

DESCRIPTION

       This  parameter	controls  the preference level of libcurl between using user names and passwords from your ~/.netrc file, relative to user
       names and passwords in the URL supplied with CURLOPT_URL(3).

       libcurl uses a user name (and supplied or prompted password) supplied with CURLOPT_USERPWD(3) or CURLOPT_USERNAME(3) in preference  to  any
       of the options controlled by this parameter.

       Only machine name, user name and password are taken into account (init macros and similar things aren't supported).

       libcurl	does not verify that the file has the correct properties set (as the standard Unix ftp client does). It should only be readable by
       user.

       level should be set to one of the values described below.

       CURL_NETRC_OPTIONAL
	      The use of your ~/.netrc file is optional, and information in the URL is to be preferred.  The file will be scanned for the host and
	      user  name (to find the password only) or for the host only, to find the first user name and password after that machine, which ever
	      information is not specified in the URL.

	      Undefined values of the option will have this effect.

       CURL_NETRC_IGNORED
	      The library will ignore the file and use only the information in the URL.

	      This is the default.

       CURL_NETRC_REQUIRED
	      This value tells the library that use of the file is required, to ignore the information in the URL, and to search the file for  the
	      host only.

DEFAULT

       CURL_NETRC_IGNORED
