16# `--proxytunnel`
17
18When an HTTP proxy is used --proxy, this option makes curl tunnel the traffic
19through the proxy. The tunnel approach is made with the HTTP proxy CONNECT
20request and requires that the proxy allows direct connect to the remote port
21number curl wants to tunnel through to.

23To suppress proxy CONNECT response headers when curl is set to output headers
24use --suppress-connect-headers.
