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.

Examples

Enable passwords in the URL:

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