curl

    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.
