NAME

CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION - allowed GSS-API delegation

SYNOPSIS


#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION, long level);

DEFAULT

CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_NONE

/* delegate if okayed by policy */
curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION,
(long)CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG);
ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
}
