CURLOPT_PROXY_SERVICE_NAME(3) Library Functions Manual CURLOPT_PROXY_SERVICE_NAME(3)

CURLOPT_PROXY_SERVICE_NAME - proxy authentication service name

#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_SERVICE_NAME,
                          char *name);

Pass a char pointer as parameter to a string holding the name of the service. The default service name is "HTTP" for HTTP based proxies and "rcmd" for SOCKS5. This option allows you to change it.

The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.
