If the port number is not specified, it is 21assumed at port 1080. Using this socket type make curl resolve the hostname 22and passing the address on to the proxy. 23 24To specify proxy on a unix domain socket, use localhost for host, e.g. 25`socks4://localhost/path/to/socket.sock` 26 27This option overrides any previous use of --proxy, as they are mutually 28exclusive. 29 30This option is superfluous since you can specify a socks4 proxy with --proxy 31using a socks4:// protocol prefix. (Added in 7.21.7) 32 33--preproxy can be used to specify a SOCKS proxy at the same time proxy is used 34with an HTTP/HTTPS proxy (added in 7.52.0). In such a case, curl first 35connects to the SOCKS proxy and then connects (through SOCKS) to the HTTP or 36HTTPS proxy. 37
