CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH(3)                          curl_easy_setopt options

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, "https://example.com");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1L);
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_UNRESTRICTED_AUTH, 1L);
         curl_easy_perform(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Along with HTTP

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