.TH CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE 3 "17 Jun 2014" "libcurl 7.37.0" "curl_easy_setopt options"
.SH NAME
CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE \- proxy protocol type
.SH SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, long type);
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass one of the values below to set the type of the proxy.

.RS
.IP CURLPROXY_HTTP
HTTP Proxy. Default.
.IP CURLPROXY_HTTPS
HTTPS Proxy. (Added in 7.52.0 for OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS)
.IP CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0
HTTP 1.0 Proxy. This is very similar to CURLPROXY_HTTP except it uses HTTP/1.0
for any CONNECT tunnelling. It does not change the HTTP version of the actual
HTTP requests, controlled by \fICURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3)\fP.
.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS4
SOCKS4 Proxy.
.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A
SOCKS4a Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname.
.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS5
SOCKS5 Proxy.
.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME
SOCKS5 Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname.
.RE

Often it is more convenient to specify the proxy type with the scheme part of
the \fICURLOPT_PROXY(3)\fP string.
.SH DEFAULT
CURLPROXY_HTTP
