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.
