| 15 | If you use a Windows SSPI-enabled curl binary and do either Negotiate or NTLM |
| 16 | authentication then you can tell curl to select the user name and password |
| 17 | from your environment by specifying a single colon with this option: "-U :". |
| 18 | |
| 19 | On systems where it works, curl will hide the given option argument from |
| 20 | process listings. This is not enough to protect credentials from possibly |
| 21 | getting seen by other users on the same system as they will still be visible |
| 22 | for a moment before cleared. Such sensitive data should be retrieved from a |
| 23 | file instead or similar and never used in clear text in a command line. |
