The parameter should be a 30 char * to a null-terminated string holding the hostname or dotted numerical IP 31 address. A numerical IPv6 address must be written within [brackets]. 32 33 To specify port number in this string, append :[port] to the end of the host 34 name. The proxy's port number may optionally be specified with the separate 35 option CURLOPT_PROXYPORT(3). If not specified, libcurl defaults to using 36 port 1080 for proxies. 37 38 A pre proxy is a SOCKS proxy that curl connects to before it connects to the 39 HTTP(S) proxy specified in the CURLOPT_PROXY(3) option. The pre proxy 40 can only be a SOCKS proxy. 41 42 The pre proxy string should be prefixed with [scheme]:// to specify which kind 43 of socks is used. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or socks5h:// (the last 44 one to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the resolving, also known as 45 *CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME* type) to request the specific SOCKS version to 46 be used. Otherwise SOCKS4 is used as default. 47 48 Setting the pre proxy string to "" (an empty string) explicitly disables the 49 use of a pre proxy. 50 51 When you set a hostname to use, do not assume that there is any particular 52 single port number used widely for proxies. Specify it. 53 54 The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this 55 option. 56 57 Using this option multiple times makes the last set string override the 58 previous ones. Set it to NULL to disable its use again. 59 60 # DEFAULT 61 62 NULL 63 64 # %PROTOCOLS% 65 66 # EXAMPLE 67 68 ~~~c 69 int main(void) 70 { 71 CURL *curl = curl_easy_init(); 72 if(curl) { 73 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/file.txt"); 74 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PRE_PROXY, "socks4://socks-proxy:1080"); 75 curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://proxy:80"); 76 curl_easy_perform(curl); 77 } 78 } 79 ~~~ 80 81 # %AVAILABILITY% 82 83 # RETURN VALUE 84 85 curl_easy_setopt(3) returns a CURLcode indicating success or error. 86 87 CURLE_OK (0) means everything was OK, non-zero means an error occurred, see 88 libcurl-errors(3).
