MYAUTH parameter* == MYAUTH=username:password[:connMap]
-- default: none
-- restriction: applicable to Socks, VSAP, SMTP, and HTTP
Specify authorization information to be sent to an upstream server/proxy.
Special characters in username or password must be escaped
with "%XX" where XX is hexadecimal representation of
a character code (see ascii(7)).
Special characters to be escaped are:
TAB ("%09"), SPACE ("%20"), '"' ("%22"), '%' ("%25"), ':' ("%3A"),
'{' ("%7B"), and '}' ("%7D").
The pair of username+password which is sent from a client can be forwarded
to the server by MYAUTH="%U:%P"
(supported in HTTP and FTP only).
NOTE:
For authentication with proxies, it is strongly recommended to use
FORWARD with a gateway-URL including
authentication information instead of MYAUTH.
For example,
SOCKS=host:port with MYAUTH=user:pass
can be represented as
FORWARD=socks://user:pass@host:port.
