1.1     ! misho       1: Long: proxy
        !             2: Short: x
        !             3: Arg: [protocol://]host[:port]
        !             4: Help: Use this proxy
        !             5: ---
        !             6: Use the specified proxy.
        !             7: 
        !             8: The proxy string can be specified with a protocol:// prefix. No protocol
        !             9: specified or http:// will be treated as HTTP proxy. Use socks4://, socks4a://,
        !            10: socks5:// or socks5h:// to request a specific SOCKS version to be used.
        !            11: (The protocol support was added in curl 7.21.7)
        !            12: 
        !            13: HTTPS proxy support via https:// protocol prefix was added in 7.52.0 for
        !            14: OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS.
        !            15: 
        !            16: Unrecognized and unsupported proxy protocols cause an error since 7.52.0.
        !            17: Prior versions may ignore the protocol and use http:// instead.
        !            18: 
        !            19: If the port number is not specified in the proxy string, it is assumed to be
        !            20: 1080.
        !            21: 
        !            22: This option overrides existing environment variables that set the proxy to
        !            23: use. If there's an environment variable setting a proxy, you can set proxy to
        !            24: \&"" to override it.
        !            25: 
        !            26: All operations that are performed over an HTTP proxy will transparently be
        !            27: converted to HTTP. It means that certain protocol specific operations might
        !            28: not be available. This is not the case if you can tunnel through the proxy, as
        !            29: one with the --proxytunnel option.
        !            30: 
        !            31: User and password that might be provided in the proxy string are URL decoded
        !            32: by curl. This allows you to pass in special characters such as @ by using %40
        !            33: or pass in a colon with %3a.
        !            34: 
        !            35: The proxy host can be specified the exact same way as the proxy environment
        !            36: variables, including the protocol prefix (http://) and the embedded user +
        !            37: password.
        !            38: 
        !            39: If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
