1 Long: socks4a 2 Arg: <host[:port]> 3 Help: SOCKS4a proxy on given host + port 4 Added: 7.18.0 5 Category: proxy 6 --- 7 Use the specified SOCKS4a proxy. If the port number is not specified, it is 8 assumed at port 1080. 9 10 This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually 11 exclusive. 12 13 Since 7.21.7, this option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4a proxy 14 with --proxy using a socks4a:// protocol prefix. 15 16 Since 7.52.0, --preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time 17 --proxy is used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy. In such a case curl first connects to 18 the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. 19 20 If this option is used several times, the last one will be used. 21
