I have a couple of questions regarding this option.

1.       If I DO NOT set the  CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH option and then use the 
curl_easy_perform to send a URL, will CURL default to send BASIC or will CURL 
not send any authentication at all?

2.       If no authentication is sent in question 1 and the server responds 
with a message dictating the need for authentication, for example BASIC, will 
CURL then respond with BASIC authentication? Or will it hold to the fact that 
authentication has not been set and close the connection?

3.       If the CURLOPT_USERPWD is set with a username/password I understand 
how it is used when specifying CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, but back to my first two 
questions, is it dependent on CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH?  Or is there a case where it is 
provisioned without CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH and will still be used to help default to 
BASIC Authentication.



Thank you - Gary
