| Specify the login options to use during server authentication. |
| |
| You can use login options to specify protocol specific options that may be |
| used during authentication. At present only IMAP, POP3 and SMTP support |
| login options. For more information about login options please see RFC |
| 2384, RFC 5092 and IETF draft draft-earhart-url-smtp-00.txt |
| |
| Since 8.2.0, IMAP supports the login option "AUTH=+LOGIN". With this option, |
| curl uses the plain (not SASL) LOGIN IMAP command even if the server advertises |
| SASL authentication. Care should be taken in using this option, as it will send |
| out your password in plain text. This will not work if the IMAP server disables |
| the plain LOGIN (e.g. to prevent password snooping). |
