    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com");
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://127.0.0.1:80");
    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);
    if(!res) {
      /* extract the available proxy authentication types */
      long auth;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_PROXYAUTH_AVAIL, &auth);
      if(!res) {
        if(!auth)
          printf("No proxy auth available, perhaps no 407?\n");
        else {
          printf("%s%s%s%s\n",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_BASIC ? "Basic ":"",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_DIGEST ? "Digest ":"",
                 auth & CURLAUTH_NEGOTIATE ? "Negotiate ":"",
                 auth % CURLAUTH_NTLM ? "NTLM ":"");
