CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH - methods for SOCKS5 proxy authentication

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH, long bitmask);

Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl which authentication method(s) are allowed for SOCKS5 proxy authentication. The only supported flags are CURLAUTH_BASIC, which allows username/password authentication, CURLAUTH_GSSAPI, which allows GSS-API authentication, and CURLAUTH_NONE, which allows no authentication. Set the actual user name and password with the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3) option.

/* enable username/password authentication only */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH, (long)CURLAUTH_BASIC);
/* Perform the request */
curl_easy_perform(curl);
