- 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.
