# EXAMPLE

~~~c
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode result;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");

    result = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(result == CURLE_OK) {
      /* extract the available authentication types */
      long auth;
      result = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_HTTPAUTH_AVAIL, &auth);
      if(result == CURLE_OK) {
        if(!auth)
          printf("No auth available, perhaps no 401?\n");
        else {
          printf("%s%s%s%s\n",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_BASIC ? "Basic " : "",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_DIGEST ? "Digest " : "",

        }
      }
