CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL(3)

NAME
CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL - disallow specifying username in the URL

SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL,
                          long disallow);

DESCRIPTION
A long parameter set to 1 tells the library to not allow URLs set with CURLOPT_URL(3) that include a username. This is the equivalent to the CURLU_DISALLOW_USER flag for the curl_url_set(3) function. Note that this option does not affect URLs set with CURLOPT_CURLU(3).

DEFAULT
0 (disabled)

PROTOCOLS

EXAMPLE
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL, 1L);
    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
