Most (if not all) options that take a pointer, accept a NULL as a way to reset
back to the internal defaults.

Options that take a number don't have any easy ways to revert back to default.
You need to set them to a value you prefer.

TIMEVALUE cannot be used to disable TIMEECONDITION. You should however be able
to set TIMECONDITION to CURL_TIMECOND_NONE to disable the use of time
conditions.

You're using a too old libcurl! ;-) USERPWD set to NULL in a recent version
will reset it back to internal default: no password, no user.

Previous versions of libcurl had password prompting functionality, but that
was then.
