+.SH SYNOPSIS

+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_ERRORBUFFER, [argument]);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a char * to a buffer that the libcurl may store human readable error
+messages in on failures or problems. This may be more helpful than just the
+return code from \fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP and related functions. The buffer
+\fBmust be at least CURL_ERROR_SIZE bytes big\fP.
+
+You must keep the associated buffer available until libcurl no longer needs
+it. Failing to do so will cause very odd behavior or even crashes. libcurl
+will need it until you call \fIcurl_easy_cleanup(3)\fP or you set the same
+option again to use a different pointer.
+
+Consider \fICURLOPT_VERBOSE(3)\fP and \fICURLOPT_DEBUGFUNCTION(3)\fP to better
+debug and trace why errors happen.
+
+If the library does not return an error, the buffer may not have been
+touched. Do not rely on the contents in those cases.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+When uploading a file to a remote site, \fIfilesize\fP should be used to tell

+.TH CURLOPT_PROXY 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_PROXY \- set proxy to use
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY, char *proxy);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Set the \fIproxy\fP to use for the upcoming request. The parameter should be a
+char * to a zero terminated string holding the host name or dotted IP
+address.
+
+To specify port number in this string, append :[port] to the end of the host
+name. The proxy's port number may optionally be specified with the separate
+option \fICURLOPT_PROXYPORT(3)\fP. If not specified, libcurl will default to
+using port 1080 for proxies.
+
+The proxy string may be prefixed with [scheme]:// to specify which kind of
+proxy is used. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or socks5h:// (the last
+one to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the resolving, also known as
+\fICURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME\fP type) to request the specific SOCKS version to
+be used. No protocol specified, http:// and all others will be treated as HTTP
+proxies.
+
+Without a scheme prefix, \fICURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3)\fP can be used to specify
+which kind of proxy the string identifies.
+
+When you tell the library to use a HTTP proxy, libcurl will transparently
+convert operations to HTTP even if you specify an FTP URL etc. This may have
+an impact on what other features of the library you can use, such as
+\fICURLOPT_QUOTE(3)\fP and similar FTP specifics that don't work unless you
+tunnel through the HTTP proxy. Such tunneling is activated with
+\fICURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL(3)\fP.
+
+libcurl respects the environment variables \fBhttp_proxy\fP, \fBftp_proxy\fP,
+\fBall_proxy\fP etc, if any of those are set. The \fICURLOPT_PROXY(3)\fP
+option does however override any possibly set environment variables.
+
+Setting the proxy string to "" (an empty string) will explicitly disable the
+use of a proxy, even if there is an environment variable set for it.
+
+A proxy host string given in an environment variable can also include protocol
+scheme (http://) and embedded user + password.
+.SH DEFAULT
+Default is NULL, meaning no proxy is used.
+
+When you set a host name to use, do not assume that there's any particular
+single port number used widely for proxies. Specify it!
+.SH PROTOCOLS
+All except file://. Note that some protocols don't do very well over proxy.
+.SH EXAMPLE
+TODO
+.SH AVAILABILITY
+Since 7.14.1 the proxy environment variable names can include the protocol
+scheme.
+
+Since 7.21.7 the proxy string supports the socks protocols as "schemes".
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Returns CURLE_OK.

+Pass a long as parameter containing \fItimeout\fP - the maximum time in

+
+In unix-like systems, this might cause signals to be used unless

+.TH CURLOPT_URL 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_URL \- provide the URL to use in the reqest
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_URL, char *URL);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass in a pointer to the \fIURL\fP to work with. The parameter should be a
+char * to a zero terminated string which must be URL-encoded in the following
+format:
+
+scheme://host:port/path
+
+For a greater explanation of the format please see RFC3986.
+
+libcurl doesn't validate the syntax or use this variable until the transfer is
+issued. Even if you set a crazy value here, \fIcurl_easy_setopt(3)\fP will
+still return \fICURLE_OK\fP.
+
+If the given URL lacks the scheme (such as "http://" or "ftp://" etc) then
+libcurl will attempt to resolve the protocol based on one of the following
+given host names: HTTP, FTP, DICT, LDAP, IMAP, POP3 or SMTP
+
+Should the protocol, either that specified by the scheme or deduced by libcurl
+from the host name, not be supported by libcurl then
+\fICURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL\fP will be returned from either the
+\fIcurl_easy_perform(3)\fP or \fIcurl_multi_perform(3)\fP functions when you
+call them. Use \fIcurl_version_info(3)\fP for detailed information of which
+protocols are supported by the build of libcurl you are using.
+
+The host part of the URL contains the address of the server that you want to
+connect to. This can be the fully qualified domain name of the server, the
+local network name of the machine on your network or the IP address of the
+server or machine represented by either an IPv4 or IPv6 address. For example:
+
+http://www.example.com/
+
+http://hostname/
+
+http://192.168.0.1/
+
+http://[2001:1890:1112:1::20]/
+
+It is also possible to specify the user name, password and any supported login
+options as part of the host, for the following protocols, when connecting to
+servers that require authentication:
+
+http://user:password@www.example.com
+
+ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com
+
+imap://user:password;options@mail.example.com
+
+pop3://user:password;options@mail.example.com
+
+smtp://user:password;options@mail.example.com
+
+At present only IMAP, POP3 and SMTP support login options as part of the host.
+For more information about the login options in URL syntax please see RFC2384,
+RFC5092 and IETF draft draft-earhart-url-smtp-00.txt (Added in 7.31.0).
+
+The port is optional and when not specified libcurl will use the default port
+based on the determined or specified protocol: 80 for HTTP, 21 for FTP and 25
+for SMTP, etc. The following examples show how to specify the port:
+
+http://www.example.com:8080/ - This will connect to a web server using port
+8080 rather than 80.
+
+smtp://mail.example.com:587/ - This will connect to a SMTP server on the
+alternative mail port.
+
+The path part of the URL is protocol specific and whilst some examples are
+given below this list is not conclusive:
+
+.IP HTTP
+The path part of a HTTP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what
+directory. If the directory is not specified then the web server's root
+directory is used. If the file is omitted then the default document will be
+retrieved for either the directory specified or the root directory. The exact
+resource returned for each URL is entirely dependent on the server's
+configuration.
+
+http://www.example.com - This gets the main page from the web server.
+
+http://www.example.com/index.html - This returns the main page by explicitly
+requesting it.
+
+http://www.example.com/contactus/ - This returns the default document from
+the contactus directory.
+
+.IP FTP
+The path part of an FTP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what
+directory. If the file part is omitted then libcurl downloads the directory
+listing for the directory specified. If the directory is omitted then
+the directory listing for the root / home directory will be returned.
+
+ftp://ftp.example.com - This retrieves the directory listing for the root
+directory.
+
+ftp://ftp.example.com/readme.txt - This downloads the file readme.txt from the
+root directory.
+
+ftp://ftp.example.com/libcurl/readme.txt - This downloads readme.txt from the
+libcurl directory.
+
+ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com/readme.txt - This retrieves the readme.txt
+file from the user's home directory. When a username and password is
+specified, everything that is specified in the path part is relative to the
+user's home directory. To retrieve files from the root directory or a
+directory underneath the root directory then the absolute path must be
+specified by prepending an additional forward slash to the beginning of the
+path.
+
+ftp://user:password@ftp.example.com//readme.txt - This retrieves the readme.txt
+from the root directory when logging in as a specified user.
+
+.IP SMTP
+The path part of a SMTP request specifies the host name to present during
+communication with the mail server. If the path is omitted then libcurl will
+attempt to resolve the local computer's host name. However, this may not
+return the fully qualified domain name that is required by some mail servers
+and specifying this path allows you to set an alternative name, such as
+your machine's fully qualified domain name, which you might have obtained
+from an external function such as gethostname or getaddrinfo.
+
+smtp://mail.example.com - This connects to the mail server at example.com and
+sends your local computer's host name in the HELO / EHLO command.
+
+smtp://mail.example.com/client.example.com - This will send client.example.com in
+the HELO / EHLO command to the mail server at example.com.
+
+.IP POP3
+The path part of a POP3 request specifies the message ID to retrieve. If the
+ID is not specified then a list of waiting messages is returned instead.
+
+pop3://user:password@mail.example.com - This lists the available messages for
+the user
+
+pop3://user:password@mail.example.com/1 - This retrieves the first message for
+the user
+
+.IP IMAP
+The path part of an IMAP request not only specifies the mailbox to list (Added
+in 7.30.0) or select, but can also be used to check the UIDVALIDITY of the
+mailbox, to specify the UID, SECTION (Added in 7.30.0) and PARTIAL octets
+(Added in 7.37.0) of the message to fetch and to specify what nessages to
+search for (Added in 7.37.0).
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com - Performs a top level folder list
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX - Performs a folder list on the
+user's inbox
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX/;UID=1 - Selects the user's inbox
+and fetches message 1
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX;UIDVALIDITY=50/;UID=2 - Selects
+the user's inbox, checks the UIDVALIDITY of the mailbox is 50 and fetches
+message 2 if it is
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX/;UID=3/;SECTION=TEXT - Selects the
+user's inbox and fetches the text portial of message 3
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX/;UID=4/;PARTIAL=0.1024 - Selects
+the user's inbox and fetches the first 1024 octets of message 4
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX?NEW - Selects the user's inbox and
+checks for NEW messages
+
+imap://user:password@mail.example.com/INBOX?SUBJECT%20shadows - Selects the
+user's inbox and searches for messages containing "shadows" in the subject
+line
+
+For more information about the individual components of an IMAP URL please
+see RFC5092.
+
+.IP SCP
+The path part of a SCP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what
+directory. The file part may not be omitted. The file is taken as an absolute
+path from the root directory on the server. To specify a path relative to the
+user's home directory on the server, prepend ~/ to the path portion. If the
+user name is not embedded in the URL, it can be set with the
+\fICURLOPT_USERPWD(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP option.
+
+scp://user@example.com/etc/issue - This specifies the file /etc/issue
+
+scp://example.com/~/my-file - This specifies the file my-file in the
+user's home directory on the server
+
+.IP SFTP
+The path part of a SFTP request specifies the file to retrieve and from what
+directory. If the file part is omitted then libcurl downloads the directory
+listing for the directory specified. If the path ends in a / then a directory
+listing is returned instead of a file. If the path is omitted entirely then
+the directory listing for the root / home directory will be returned. If the
+user name is not embedded in the URL, it can be set with the
+\fICURLOPT_USERPWD(3)\fP or \fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP option.
+
+sftp://user:password@example.com/etc/issue - This specifies the file
+/etc/issue
+
+sftp://user@example.com/~/my-file - This specifies the file my-file in the
+user's home directory
+
+sftp://ssh.example.com/~/Documents/ - This requests a directory listing
+of the Documents directory under the user's home directory
+
+.IP LDAP
+The path part of a LDAP request can be used to specify the: Distinguished
+Name, Attributes, Scope, Filter and Extension for a LDAP search. Each field
+is separated by a question mark and when that field is not required an empty
+string with the question mark separator should be included.
+
+ldap://ldap.example.com/o=My%20Organisation - This will perform a LDAP search
+with the DN as My Organisation.
+
+ldap://ldap.example.com/o=My%20Organisation?postalAddress - This will perform
+the same search but will only return postalAddress attributes.
+
+ldap://ldap.example.com/?rootDomainNamingContext - This specifies an empty DN
+and requests information about the rootDomainNamingContext attribute for an
+Active Directory server.
+
+For more information about the individual components of a LDAP URL please
+see RFC4516.
+.IP RTMP
+There's no official URL spec for RTMP so libcurl uses the URL syntax supported
+by the underlying librtmp library. It has a syntax where it wants a
+traditional URL, followed by a space and a series of space-separated
+name=value pairs.
+
+While space is not typically a "legal" letter, libcurl accepts them. When a
+user wants to pass in a '#' (hash) character it will be treated as a fragment
+and get cut off by libcurl if provided literally. You will instead have to
+escape it by providing it as backslash and its ASCII value in hexadecimal:
+"\\23".
+
+.IP NOTES
+\fICURLOPT_URL(3)\fP is the only option that \fBmust\fP be set before a
+transfer is started.
+
+\fICURLOPT_PROTOCOLS(3)\fP can be used to limit what protocols libcurl will
+use for this transfer, independent of what libcurl has been compiled to
+support. That may be useful if you accept the URL from an external source and
+want to limit the accessibility.
+.SH DEFAULT
+There is no default URL. If this option isn't set, no transfer can be
+performed.

+.TH CURLOPT_USERPWD 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
+.SH NAME
+CURLOPT_USERPWD \- set user + password to work with
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+#include <curl/curl.h>
+
+CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_USERPWD, char *userpwd);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+Pass a char * as parameter, pointing to a zero terminated login details string
+for the connection. The format of which is: [user name]:[password].
+
+When using NTLM, you can set the domain by prepending it to the user name and
+separating the domain and name with a forward (/) or backward slash (\\). Like
+this: "domain/user:password" or "domain\\user:password". Some HTTP servers (on
+Windows) support this style even for Basic authentication.
+
+When using HTTP and \fICURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3)\fP, libcurl might perform
+several requests to possibly different hosts. libcurl will only send this user
+and password information to hosts using the initial host name (unless
+\fICURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3)\fP is set), so if libcurl follows locations to
+other hosts it will not send the user and password to those. This is enforced
+to prevent accidental information leakage.
+
+Use \fICURLOPT_HTTPAUTH(3)\fP to specify the authentication method for HTTP
+based connections or \fICURLOPT_LOGIN_OPTIONS(3)\fP to control IMAP, POP3 and
+SMTP options.
+
+The user and password strings are not URL decoded, so there's no way to send
+in a user name containing a colon using this option. Use
+\fICURLOPT_USERNAME(3)\fP for that, or include it in the URL.
