NAME

       CURLOPT_SERVICE_NAME - authentication service name

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_SERVICE_NAME, char *name);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  char pointer as parameter to a string holding the name of the service for DIGEST-MD5, SPNEGO and
       Kerberos 5 authentication mechanisms. The default service names are "ftp", "HTTP", "imap", "ldap",  "pop"
       and "smtp". This option allows you to change them.

       The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this option.

       Using  this option multiple times makes the last set string override the previous ones. Set it to NULL to
       disable its use again.

DEFAULT

       See above

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects ftp, http, imap, ldap, pop3 and smtp
