curl

    1: Long: preproxy
    2: Arg: [protocol://]host[:port]
    3: Help: Use this proxy first
    4: Added: 7.52.0
    5: ---
    6: Use the specified SOCKS proxy before connecting to an HTTP or HTTPS --proxy. In
    7: such a case curl first connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through
    8: SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. Hence pre proxy.
    9: 
   10: The pre proxy string should be specified with a protocol:// prefix to specify
   11: alternative proxy protocols. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or
   12: socks5h:// to request the specific SOCKS version to be used. No protocol
   13: specified will make curl default to SOCKS4.
   14: 
   15: If the port number is not specified in the proxy string, it is assumed to be
   16: 1080.
   17: 
   18: User and password that might be provided in the proxy string are URL decoded
   19: by curl. This allows you to pass in special characters such as @ by using %40
   20: or pass in a colon with %3a.
   21: 
   22: If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
