.SH SYNOPSIS

|
|
|
.nf
|
|
|
|
#include <curl/curl.h>

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Set the \fBtunnel\fP parameter to 1L to make libcurl tunnel all operations
|
|
|
|
through the HTTP proxy (set with \fICURLOPT_PROXY(3)\fP). There is a big
|
|
|
|
difference between using a proxy and to tunnel through it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tunneling means that an HTTP CONNECT request is sent to the proxy, asking it
|
|
|
|
to connect to a remote host on a specific port number and then the traffic is
|
|
|
|
just passed through the proxy. Proxies tend to white\-list specific port numbers
|
|
|
|
it allows CONNECT requests to and often only port 80 and 443 are allowed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To suppress proxy CONNECT response headers from user callbacks use
|
|
|
|
\fICURLOPT_SUPPRESS_CONNECT_HEADERS(3)\fP.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HTTP proxies can generally only speak HTTP (for obvious reasons), which makes
|
|
|
|
libcurl convert non\-HTTP requests to HTTP when using an HTTP proxy without
|
|
|
|
this tunnel option set. For example, asking for an FTP URL and specifying an
|
|
|
|
HTTP proxy makes libcurl send an FTP URL in an HTTP GET request to the
|
|
|
|
proxy. By instead tunneling through the proxy, you avoid that conversion (that
|
|
|
|
rarely works through the proxy anyway).
