GNURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3)

💅 GNURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3) — the proxy-protocol-type girly 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the gnurl curl_easy_setopt options page ✨ this is GNURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3) and it's literally all about telling gnurl what kind of proxy you're talking to. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ NAME ✨

CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE — the proxy protocol type, periodt 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

#include <gnurl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, long type);

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so you pass one of the values below to type and that sets the type of the proxy 💅 like, which flavour of proxy your handle is gonna talk to. pick your fighter:

• CURLPROXY_HTTP — HTTP Proxy. this one's the Default, she's the main character 👑
• CURLPROXY_HTTPS — HTTPS Proxy. (Added in 7.52.0 for OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS) 🔥
• CURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0 — HTTP 1.0 Proxy. this is very similar to CURLPROXY_HTTP except it uses HTTP/1.0 for any CONNECT tunnelling. it does not change the HTTP version of the actual HTTP requests, those are controlled by CURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3). so don't get it twisted bestie 🫶
• CURLPROXY_SOCKS4 — SOCKS4 Proxy. 🧦
• CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A — SOCKS4a Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname. 🧦✨
• CURLPROXY_SOCKS5 — SOCKS5 Proxy. 🧦💜
• CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME — SOCKS5 Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname. 🧦🌺

ngl, often it is more convenient to specify the proxy type with the scheme part of the CURLOPT_PROXY(3) string. iykyk 😌
