If the port number is not specified, it is 13 assumed at port 1080. This asks the proxy to resolve the host name. 14 15 To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. 16 socks4a://localhost/path/to/socket.sock 17 18 This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually 19 exclusive. 20 21 This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4a proxy with --proxy 22 using a socks4a:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7) 23 24 --preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is 25 used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first 26 connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or 27 HTTPS proxy. 28
