CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SOCKS5_AUTH, long bitmask);

DESCRIPTION

Pass a long as parameter, which is set to a bitmask, to tell libcurl which authentication method(s) are allowed for SOCKS5 proxy authentication. The only supported flags are CURLAUTH_BASIC, which allows username/password authentication, CURLAUTH_GSSAPI, which allows GSS-API authentication, and CURLAUTH_NONE, which allows no authentication. Set the actual username and password with the CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD(3) option.
