The most commonly replaced headers have "shortcuts" in the options \fICURLOPT_COOKIE\fP, \fICURLOPT_USERAGENT\fP and \fICURLOPT_REFERER\fP. + +Starting in 7.36.0, libcurl offers an alternative option that sets or replaces +headers only for requests that are sent to a proxy: +\fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER\fP. If \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER\fP is not used at all by +an application, the \fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER headers\fP will be used for proxy +requests as well! +.IP CURLOPT_PROXYHEADER +Pass a pointer to a linked list of HTTP headers to pass in your HTTP request +sent to a proxy. The rules for this list is identical to the +\fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP option's. + +The headers set with this option is only ever used in requests sent to a +proxy. + +As a special quirk to stay backwards compatible with the libcurl versions +released before this option existed, all headers set with +\fICURLOPT_HTTPHEADER\fP will also be used for proxies unless you set one or +more headers (or even just NULL) with \fICURLOPT_PROXYHEADER\fP. + +The first line in a request (containing the method, usually a GET or POST) is +not a header and cannot be replaced using this option. Only the lines +following the request-line are headers. Adding this method line in this list +of headers will only cause your request to send an invalid header. + +Pass a NULL to this to reset back to no custom headers. + +This option was added in libcurl 7.36.0. .IP CURLOPT_HTTP200ALIASES Pass a pointer to a linked list of aliases to be treated as valid HTTP 200 responses. Some servers respond with a custom header response line.
