| --- |
| 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. |
| |
| To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. |
| socks5h://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 hostname proxy with |
| --proxy using a socks5h:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7) |
| |
| --preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is |
| used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first |
| connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or |
| HTTPS proxy. |
