Just in case this seems misleading to you too...

curl also has password prompting for HTTP (and proxy) basic auth passwords. But it sounds like you already found that in the manual. We do not have anything built into curl that can ask the user for a username in addition to the password. If you can think of a good way to add this, I'm sure Daniel would appreciate a patch that makes it happen.

Or, you can write the prompt into your batch script...

Thanks,

You can't, that's still a missing feature.

The password prompting that exists is only used for SSL certificates and
keys.
