Use the specified SOCKS4 proxy. If the port number is not specified, it is
assumed at port 1080.
-This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually
-exclusive.

with --proxy using a socks4:// protocol prefix.
+This option typically overrides any previous use of --proxy; however since
+7.52.0 if --proxy is used to specify an HTTP or HTTPS proxy then curl will
+attempt to use it with the SOCKS proxy. In such a case curl first connects to
+the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy.
