.SH NAME
CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE \- proxy protocol type
.SH SYNOPSIS
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, long type);
.SH DESCRIPTION
-Pass a long with this option to set type of the proxy. Available options for
-this are \fICURLPROXY_HTTP\fP, \fICURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0\fP
-\fICURLPROXY_SOCKS4\fP, \fICURLPROXY_SOCKS5\fP, \fICURLPROXY_SOCKS4A\fP and
-\fICURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME\fP. The HTTP type is default.
+Pass one of the values below to set the type of the proxy.
-If you set \fICURLOPT_PROXYTYPE(3)\fP to \fICURLPROXY_HTTP_1_0\fP, it will
-only affect how libcurl speaks to a proxy when CONNECT is used. The HTTP
-version used for "regular" HTTP requests is instead controlled with
-\fICURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3)\fP.
+.RS
+.IP CURLPROXY_HTTP
+HTTP Proxy. Default.
+.IP CURLPROXY_HTTPS
+HTTPS Proxy. (Added in 7.52.0 for OpenSSL, GnuTLS and NSS)
+.IP 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, controlled by \fICURLOPT_HTTP_VERSION(3)\fP.
+.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS4
+SOCKS4 Proxy.
+.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS4A
+SOCKS4a Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname.
+.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS5
+SOCKS5 Proxy.
+.IP CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME
+SOCKS5 Proxy. Proxy resolves URL hostname.
+.RE
Often it is more convenient to specify the proxy type with the scheme part of
the \fICURLOPT_PROXY(3)\fP string.
