# `--proxy`
|
|
|
|
Use the specified proxy.
|
|
|
|
The proxy string can be specified with a protocol:// prefix. No protocol
|
|
specified or http:// it is treated as an HTTP proxy. Use socks4://,
|
|
socks4a://, socks5:// or socks5h:// to request a specific SOCKS version to be
|
|
used. (Added in 7.21.7)
|
|
|
|
Unix domain sockets are supported for socks proxy. Set localhost for the host
|
|
part. e.g. socks5h://localhost/path/to/socket.sock
|
|
|
|
HTTPS proxy support works set with the https:// protocol prefix for OpenSSL
|
|
and GnuTLS (added in 7.52.0). It also works for BearSSL, mbedTLS, rustls,
|
|
Schannel, Secure Transport and wolfSSL (added in 7.87.0).
|
|
|
|
Unrecognized and unsupported proxy protocols cause an error (added in 7.52.0).
|
|
Ancient curl versions ignored unknown schemes and used http:// instead.
|
|
|
|
If the port number is not specified in the proxy string, it is assumed to be
|
|
1080.
|
|
|
|
This option overrides existing environment variables that set the proxy to
|
|
use. If there is an environment variable setting a proxy, you can set proxy to
|
|
"" to override it.
|
|
|
|
All operations that are performed over an HTTP proxy are transparently
|
|
converted to HTTP. It means that certain protocol specific operations might
|
|
not be available. This is not the case if you can tunnel through the proxy, as
|
|
one with the --proxytunnel option.
|
|
|
|
User and password that might be provided in the proxy string are URL decoded
|
|
by curl. This allows you to pass in special characters such as @ by using %40
|
|
or pass in a colon with %3a.
|
|
|
|
The proxy host can be specified the same way as the proxy environment
|
|
variables, including the protocol prefix (http://) and the embedded user +
|
|
password.
|
|
|
|
When a proxy is used, the active FTP mode as set with --ftp-port, cannot be
|
|
used.
