NAME
CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH - send credentials to other hosts too
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH,
long goahead);
DESCRIPTION
Set the long gohead parameter to 1L to make libcurl continue to send
authentication (user+password) credentials when following locations, even when
hostname changed. This option is meaningful only when setting
CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION(3).
By default, libcurl will only send given credentials to the initial host name
as given in the original URL, to avoid leaking username + password to other
sites.
DEFAULT
0
PROTOCOLS
HTTP
EXAMPLE
CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "http://example.com");

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH, 1L);
curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
AVAILABILITY

Returns CURLE_OK if HTTP is supported, and CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION if not.
