CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD(3)

NAME
       CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD - passphrase for	the proxy private key

SYNOPSIS
       #include	<curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode	curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD,	char *pwd);

DESCRIPTION
       This option is for connecting to	an HTTPS proxy,	not an HTTPS server.

       Pass  a pointer to a null-terminated string as parameter. It is used as
       the password required to	use the	CURLOPT_PROXY_SSLKEY(3)	 private  key.
       You  never  need	a passphrase to	load a certificate but you need	one to
       load your private key.

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

       Using this option multiple times	makes the last set string override the
       previous	ones. Set it to	NULL to	disable	its use	again.

DEFAULT
       NULL

PROTOCOLS
       This functionality affects all TLS based	protocols: HTTPS, FTPS,	IMAPS,
       POP3S, SMTPS etc.

       This option works only with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL,	Schan-
       nel, mbedTLS and	wolfSSL

EXAMPLE
       int main(void)
       {
	 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
	 if(curl) {
	   CURLcode res;
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "https://proxy:443");
	   curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, "superman");
	   res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
	   curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
	 }
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in	curl 7.52.0

RETURN VALUE
       curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.

       CURLE_OK	(0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred,
