 .B CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD
 Pass a char * as parameter, which should be [user name]:[password] to use for
 the connection to the HTTP proxy. If the password is left out, you will be
 prompted for it. \fICURLOPT_PASSWDFUNCTION\fP can be used to set your own

+.B CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST
+Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Digest authentication.
+Digest authentication is defined in RFC2617 and is a somewhat more secure way
+to do user+password checking over public networks than the regular
+old-fashioned Basic authentication. By default, libcurl uses Basic. Set name
+and password with the CURLOPT_USERPWD option. (Added in 7.10.6)

+.B CURLOPT_HTTPNEGOTIATE
+Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Negotiate authentication.
+The Negotiate method was designed by Microsoft and is used in their web
+aplications. It is primarily meant as a support for Kerberos5 authentication
+but may be also used along with another authentication methods. For more
