| Help: SOCKS5 proxy, pass host name to proxy |
| Added: 7.18.0 |
| --- |
| Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy (and let the proxy resolve the host name). If |
| the port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080. |
| |
| This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually |
| exclusive. |
| |
| Since 7.21.7, this option is superfluous since you can specify a socks5 |
| hostname proxy with --proxy using a socks5h:// protocol prefix. |
| |
| Since 7.52.0, --preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time |
| --proxy is used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy. In such a case curl first connects to |
| the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. |
| |
| If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. |
