CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3) | curl_easy_setopt options | CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3) |
NAME¶
CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH - send credentials to other hosts too
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <curl/curl.h> CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH,
long goahead);
DESCRIPTION¶
Set the long gohead parameter to 1L to make libcurl continue to send authentication (user+password) credentials when following locations, even when hostname changed. This option is meaningful only when setting CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3).
By default, libcurl will only send given credentials to the initial host name as given in the original URL, to avoid leaking username + password to other sites.
DEFAULT¶
0
PROTOCOLS¶
HTTP
EXAMPLE¶
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH, 1L);
curl_easy_perform(curl); }
AVAILABILITY¶
Along with HTTP
RETURN VALUE¶
Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
