prompt function.

.TP

.B CURLOPT_HTTPDIGEST

Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Digest authentication.

Digest authentication is defined in RFC2617 and is a somewhat more secure way

to do user+password checking over public networks than the regular

old-fashioned Basic authentication. By default, libcurl uses Basic. Set name

and password with the CURLOPT_USERPWD option. (Added in 7.10.6)

.TP

.B CURLOPT_HTTPNEGOTIATE

Pass a long set to a non-zero value to enable HTTP Negotiate authentication.

The Negotiate method was designed by Microsoft and is used in their web

aplications. It is primarily meant as a support for Kerberos5 authentication

but may be also used along with another authentication methods. For more

information see IETF draft draft-brezak-spnego-http-04.txt.  Set name and

password with the CURLOPT_USERPWD option. (Added in 7.10.6)

.B CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH

Pass a long set to one of the curl_httpauth values, to tell libcurl what

authentication method you want it to use. Set the actual name and password

with the \fICURLOPT_USERPWD\fP option. (Added in 7.10.6)
