    But I don't see any stuff in http header like "Authorization:"
    what is the problem usually when this happens?

    basically, I only insert one more line into my codes for proxy authentication
    curl_easy_setopt(easyHandle, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "loginname:passwd");

  Do you already have:

      curl_easy_setopt(easyHandle, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://your.proxy.com:port/");

  in there somewhere?? If not, curl won't be finding your proxy...

  Yes, I have added it and my app can go through proxy without authentication
  But whenever I would like to try CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD to go through my squid proxy with basic authentication, the problem mentioned above occurs
  I can't even see the "Authentication: " header field shown in http header part of my app's requests toward the squid proxy.

  I think a lot of people have used this feature, do you guys have problems?
