CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD(3)

CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD - passphrase for the proxy private key

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_KEYPASSWD, char *pwd);

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 pass phrase 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.

NULL

Used with HTTPS proxy

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);
} }

Added in 7.52.0

Returns CURLE_OK if TLS enabled, CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not, or CURLE_OUT_OF_MEMORY if there was insufficient heap space.
