CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3) Introduction to Library Functions CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3)

NAME

CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE - proxy protocol type

SYNOPSIS

#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, long type);

DESCRIPTION

Pass one of the values below to set the type of the proxy.

CURLPROXY_HTTP
HTTP Proxy. Default.

CURLPROXY_HTTPS
HTTPS Proxy using HTTP/1. (Added in 7.52.0 for OpenSSL and
GnuTLS. Since 7.87.0, it also works for BearSSL, mbedTLS,
Rustls, Schannel, Secure Transport and wolfSSL.)

CURLPROXY_HTTPS2
HTTPS Proxy and attempt to speak HTTP/2 over it. (Added in
8.1.0)

CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0
HTTP 1.0 Proxy. This is similar to CURLPROXY_HTTP except it
uses HTTP/1.0 for any CONNECT tunneling. It does not change
the HTTP version of the actual HTTP requests, controlled by
CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3).

CURLPROXY_SOCKS4
SOCKS4 Proxy.

CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A
SOCKS4a Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname.

CURLPROXY_SOCKS5
SOCKS5 Proxy.

CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME
SOCKS5 Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname.

Often it is more convenient to specify the proxy type with the scheme
part of the CURLOPT_PROXY(3) string.

DEFAULT

CURLPROXY_HTTP
