| Help: Operate through a HTTP proxy tunnel (using CONNECT) |
| See-also: proxy |
| --- |
| When an HTTP proxy is used --proxy, this option will cause non-HTTP protocols |
| to attempt to tunnel through the proxy instead of merely using it to do |
| HTTP-like operations. The tunnel approach is made with the HTTP proxy CONNECT |
| request and requires that the proxy allows direct connect to the remote port |
| number curl wants to tunnel through to. |
| |
| To suppress proxy CONNECT response headers when curl is set to output headers |
| use --suppress-connect-headers. |
