Is setting a username/password in libcurl harmful if none is required?

Hello,

This is a follow-up to
https://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2018-05/0111.html. My question is
whether setting a username/password (even blank) can lead to
authentication failure if none is required (particularly in the
context of proxies).

This is when using libcurl directly, not the command-line client.

Any information appreciated!

Best wishes,
Nicolás
