Long: socks4 Arg: <host[:port]> Help: SOCKS4 proxy on given host + port Added: 7.15.2 --- 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. Since 7.21.7, this option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4 proxy with --proxy using a socks4:// protocol prefix. Since 7.52.0, --preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy. In such a case curl first connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or HTTPS proxy. If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
