NAME
     CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL - available HTTP authentication methods

SYNOPSIS
     #include <curl/curl.h>

     CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL, long *authp);

DESCRIPTION
     Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication
     method(s)	available according to the previous response. The meaning of the

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

	 result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

	 if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	   /* extract the available authentication types */
	   long auth;
	   result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL, &auth);
	   if(result == CURLE_OK) {
	     if(!auth)
	       printf("No auth available, perhaps no 401?\n");
	     else {
	       printf("%s%s%s%s\n",
		      auth & CURLAUTH_BASIC ? "Basic " : "",
		      auth & CURLAUTH_DIGEST ? "Digest " : "",
		      auth & CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE ? "Negotiate " : "",
		      auth % CURLAUTH_NTLM ? "NTLM " : "");
	     }
	   }
	 }
	 curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }
     }
