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. DEFAULT

CURLOPT_COOKIE(3)					     curl_easy_setopt options						 CURLOPT_COOKIE(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_COOKIE - set contents of HTTP Cookie header SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_COOKIE, char *cookie); DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a zero terminated string as parameter. It will be used to set a cookie in the HTTP request. The format of the string should be NAME=CONTENTS, where NAME is the cookie name and CONTENTS is what the cookie should contain. If you need to set multiple cookies, set them all using a single option concatenated like this: "name1=content1; name2=content2;" etc. This option sets the cookie header explicitly in the outgoing request(s). If multiple requests are done due to authentication, followed redirections or similar, they will all get this cookie passed on. The cookies set by this option are separate from the internal cookie storage held by the cookie engine and will not be modified by it. If you enable the cookie engine and either you've imported a cookie of the same name (e.g. 'foo') or the server has set one, it will have no effect on the cookies you set here. A request to the server will send both the 'foo' held by the cookie engine and the 'foo' held by this option. To set a cookie that is instead held by the cookie engine and can be modified by the server use CURLOPT_COOKIELIST(3). Using this option multiple times will only make the latest string override the previous ones. This option will not enable the cookie engine. Use CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE(3) or CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR(3) to enable parsing and sending cookies automatically. The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option. DEFAULT

HTTP EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) { curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com"); curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIE, "tool=curl; fun=yes;"); curl_easy_perform(curl); } AVAILABILITY
If HTTP is enabled RETURN VALUE
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space. SEE ALSO
