CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL - Man Page

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_DISALLOW_USERNAME_IN_URL,
                          long disallow);

A long parameter set to 1 tells the library to not allow URLs that include a username.

This is the equivalent to the CURLU_DISALLOW_USER flag for the curl_url_set(3) function.

0 (disabled)
