+	$ cat ${HOME}/.httpdirfs/config
+	--username test
+	--password test
+	-f

 ## SSL Support
 
 If you run the program in the foreground, when it starts up, it will output the SSL engine version string. Please verify that your libcurl is linked against OpenSSL, as the pthread mutex functions are designed for OpenSSL.
