CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_USED(3) FreeBSD Library Functions Manual CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_USED(3)

CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_USED - get used HTTP proxy authentication method

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_USED, long *authp);

Pass a pointer to a long to receive a bitmask indicating the authentication method that was used in the previous request done over an HTTP proxy. The meaning of the possible bits is explained in the CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3) option for curl_easy_setopt(3).

The returned value has zero or one bit set.

This functionality affects http only

int main(void)
{

CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
CURLcode res;
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://proxy.example.com");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYAUTH,
CURLAUTH_BASIC | CURLAUTH_DIGEST);
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERNAME, "shrek");
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXYPASSWORD, "swamp");
res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
if(!res) {
long auth;
res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_USED, &auth);
if(!res) {
if(!auth)
printf("No auth used\n");
else {
if(auth == CURLAUTH_DIGEST)
printf("Used Digest proxy authentication\n");
else
printf("Used Basic proxy authentication\n");
}
}
}
curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
} }

Added in curl 8.12.0

curl_easy_getinfo(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error.
