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_PROXY, "http://127.0.0.1:80");

    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(result == CURLE_OK) {
      /* extract the available proxy authentication types */
      long auth;
      result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL, &auth);
      if(result == CURLE_OK) {
        if(!auth)
          printf("No proxy auth available, perhaps no 407?n");
        else {
          printf("%s%s%s%sn",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_BASIC ? "Basic " : "",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_DIGEST ? "Digest " : "",
