I'm trying to use cURL with the proxy setting, which was working fine before I changed my password to use the @ sign.

This is how I define the proxy:

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://test:test@test@10.20.5.15:90");

Is there any way to use a proxy pass with the @ sign (in my case the password is test@test) and get cURL to work?

  • possible duplicate of [How to use linux command line ftp with a @ sign in my username?](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/814322/how-to-use-linux-command-line-ftp-with-a-sign-in-my-username) - the same method can be used for the password parameter. – Lix Jun 24 '12 at 10:58

You can also use %40 instead of "@" :

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://test:test%40test@10.20.5.15:90"); But it's better to use CURLOPT_USERPWD like @lix said ...

You might want to try using the cURL set_opts methods to set your username and password.

CURLOPT_USERPWD
A username and password formatted as "[username]:[password]" to use for the connection.

An example would look like this - 

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "test:test@test");

  • what if the password contains `:` ? – beppe9000 Jul 29 '20 at 01:53
  • @beppe9000 - you can try use the url encoded version of `:` which is `%3A`. I used this site to convert it https://www.urlencoder.org/. – Lix Jul 29 '20 at 11:04
  • Thats the same kinda solution from the other answer – Lix Jul 29 '20 at 11:05

    well php has a builtin `urlencode` function, so I'd use that, like so: `curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, urlencode($user).':'.urlencode($password).'@'.$host.':'.$port);` – beppe9000 Jul 29 '20 at 14:03
