If the port number is not specified, it is 21assumed at port 1080. This asks the proxy to resolve the hostname. 22 23To specify proxy on a Unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. 24`socks4a://localhost/path/to/socket.sock` 25 26This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually 27exclusive. 28 29This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4a proxy with --proxy 30using a socks4a:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7) 31 32--preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time --proxy is 33used with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first 34connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or 35HTTPS proxy. 36
