| Specify the user name and password to use for proxy authentication. |
| |
| If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and do either Negotiate or NTLM |
| authentication then you can tell curl to select the user name and password |
| from your environment by specifying a single colon with this option: "-U :". |
| |
| On systems where it works, curl will hide the given option argument from |
| process listings. This is not enough to protect credentials from possibly |
| getting seen by other users on the same system as they will still be visible |
| for a brief moment before cleared. Such sensitive data should be retrieved |
| from a file instead or similar and never used in clear text in a command line. |
| |
| If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. |
