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  pri-
     vate 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,  Schannel,
     mbedTLS and wolfSSL

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