3 Long: proxy-header
4 Arg: <header/@file>
5 Help: Pass custom header(s) to proxy
6 Protocols: HTTP
7 Added: 7.37.0
8 Category: proxy
9 Example: --proxy-header "X-First-Name: Joe" -x http://proxy $URL
10 Example: --proxy-header "User-Agent: surprise" -x http://proxy $URL
11 Example: --proxy-header "Host:" -x http://proxy $URL

13 Multi: append
14 ---
15 Extra header to include in the request when sending HTTP to a proxy. You may
16 specify any number of extra headers. This is the equivalent option to --header
17 but is for proxy communication only like in CONNECT requests when you want a
18 separate header sent to the proxy to what is sent to the actual remote host.
19 
20 curl makes sure that each header you add/replace is sent with the proper
21 end-of-line marker, you should thus **not** add that as a part of the header
22 content: do not add newlines or carriage returns, they only mess things up for
23 you.
24 
25 Headers specified with this option are not included in requests that curl
26 knows are not be sent to a proxy.
27 
28 This option can take an argument in @filename style, which then adds a header
29 for each line in the input file (added in 7.55.0). Using @- makes curl read
30 the headers from stdin.
31 
32 This option can be used multiple times to add/replace/remove multiple headers.
