There is a big difference between using a proxy and to tunnel through +it. If you don't know what this means, you probably don't want this tunneling +option. + +Tunneling essentially means that a CONNECT is sent to the proxy, asking it to +connect to a remote host on a specific port number and then the traffic is +just passed through the proxy. Proxies tend to whitelist specific port numbers +it allows CONNECT requests to and often only port 80 and 443 are allowed. +.SH DEFAULT +0 +.SH PROTOCOLS +All network protocols +.SH EXAMPLE +TODO +.SH AVAILABILITY +Always +.SH RETURN VALUE +Returns CURLE_OK +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR CURLOPT_PROXY "(3), " |
