| Help: SOCKS4 proxy on given host + port |
| Added: 7.15.2 |
| Category: proxy |
| Example: --socks4 hostname:4096 $URL |
| --- |
| Use the specified SOCKS4 proxy. If the port number is not specified, it is |
| assumed at port 1080. Using this socket type make curl resolve the host name |
| and passing the address on to the proxy. |
| |
| This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually |
| exclusive. |
| |
| This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4 proxy with --proxy |
| using a socks4:// 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. |
| |
| If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. |
