Unfortunately there isn't at the moment - not at least for the HTTP or SASL based protocols.

The closest we have to it at the moment is CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE.

As you have found out it isn't too hard to do this. However,

* I'd rather support this across all of the server name authentication mechanisms
* Possibly deprecate CURLOPT_SOCKS5_GSSAPI_SERVICE
* The code hasn't also changed quite a bit since v7.36

Are you able to help us out and work on such a feature?

Kind Regards

Steve
