| --- |
| Use the specified SOCKS5 proxy - but resolve the host name locally. If the |
| port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080. |
| |
| To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. |
| socks5://localhost/path/to/socket.sock |
| |
| This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually |
| exclusive. |
| |
| This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks5 proxy with --proxy |
| using a socks5:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7) |
| |
| 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. |
| |
| This option (as well as --socks4) does not work with IPV6, FTPS or LDAP. |
