If the 13 port number is not specified, it is assumed at port 1080. 14 15 To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. 16 socks5://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 socks5 proxy with --proxy 22 using a socks5:// 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 29 This option (as well as --socks4) does not work with IPV6, FTPS or LDAP. 30
