Result

Returns OK or error.

Description

Disallow specifying username/login in URL.
The value 1 tells the library to not allow URLs that include an username.

Having password and username in the URL is a bad idea as you tell every proxy server your secret and the URLs appear on all proxy and the final web server right in the log files.

See also DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL option in CURL manual.

Examples

Enable passwords in the URL:

MBS( "CURL.SetOptionDisallowUserNameInURL"; $curl; 1 )
