CURLOPT_USERPWD(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options						CURLOPT_USERPWD(3)

NAME

       CURLOPT_USERPWD - user name and password to use in authentication

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, char *userpwd);

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 Kerberos V5 authentication with a Windows based server, you should specify the user name part with the domain name in order  for
       the server to successfully 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 specify 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.

       When  using  HTTP and CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3), 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 CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3) 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  CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3)  to specify the authentication method for HTTP based connections or CURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3) 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  CUR-
       LOPT_USERNAME(3) for that, or include it in the URL.

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

NAME

       CURLOPT_POSTREDIR - how to act on a HTTP POST redirect

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a	bitmask to control how libcurl acts on redirects after POSTs that get a 301, 302 or 303 response back.	A parameter with bit 0 set
       (value CURL_REDIR_POST_301) tells the library to respect RFC 7231 (section 6.4.2 to 6.4.4) and not convert POST requests into GET  requests
       when following a 301 redirection.  Setting bit 1 (value CURL_REDIR_POST_302) makes libcurl maintain the request method after a 302 redirect
       whilst  setting	bit  2	(value	CURL_REDIR_POST_303)  makes  libcurl  maintain	the  request  method  after  a	303  redirect.	The  value
       CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL is a convenience define that sets all three bits.

       The  non-RFC  behaviour	is  ubiquitous	in web browsers, so the library does the conversion by default to maintain consistency. However, a
       server may require a POST to remain a POST after such a redirection. This option is meaningful only when setting CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3).

DEFAULT

       0

PROTOCOLS

       HTTP(S)

EXAMPLE

       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

	 /* a silly POST example */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "data=true");

	 /* example.com is redirected, so we tell libcurl to send POST on 301, 302 and
	    303 HTTP response codes */
	 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_POSTREDIR, CURL_REDIR_POST_ALL);

	 curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY

       Added in 7.17.1. This option was known as CURLOPT_POST301 up to 7.19.0 as it only supported the 301 then. CURL_REDIR_POST_303 was added	in
       7.26.0.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
