| # PROXY PROTOCOL PREFIXES | |
| The proxy string may be specified with a protocol:// prefix to specify | |
| alternative proxy protocols. (Added in 7.21.7) | |
| If no protocol is specified in the proxy string or if the string does not | |
| match a supported one, the proxy is treated as an HTTP proxy. | |
| The supported proxy protocol prefixes are as follows: | |
| ## http:// | |
| Makes it use it as an HTTP proxy. The default if no scheme prefix is used. | |
| ## https:// | |
| Makes it treated as an **HTTPS** proxy. | |
| ## socks4:// | |
| Makes it the equivalent of --socks4 | |
| ## socks4a:// | |
| Makes it the equivalent of --socks4a | |
| ## socks5:// | |
| Makes it the equivalent of --socks5 | |
| ## socks5h:// | |
| Makes it the equivalent of --socks5-hostname | |
