.SH DESCRIPTION
Set the long parameter \fIlevel\fP to \fBCURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_FLAG\fP to allow

flag is set in the service ticket in case this feature is supported by the
GSS\-API implementation and the definition of \fIGSS_C_DELEG_POLICY_FLAG\fP was
available at compile\-time.
.SH DEFAULT
CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_NONE

    /* delegate if okayed by policy */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_GSSAPI_DELEGATION,
                     CURLGSSAPI_DELEGATION_POLICY_FLAG);
