You don't need to use the option CURLSSH_AUTH_AGENT if you don't
want to use it. It's just there to make it easier for users with a
pre-generated DSA/RSA key pair to log into an SSH server. If you set
it to CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY, then libcurl will pick one, and your app may
need to ask users for their passphrase if they want to authenticate
using a key pair rather than a password.
I have set CURLSSH_AUTH_ANY, but now how do I get the password SSH
apparently requires? Here is what I am seeing in the libssh2 debug
log (URL and username changed):

curl told us 2
I am guessing the session failed because I didn't give the password.
In the Curl example started with, there was also no explicit password
sent. I assumed this was taken care of by pageant. However, I am not
familiar with SSH.
