1.SH FILES
2.I ~/.curlrc
3.RS
4Default config file, see --config for details.
5.SH ENVIRONMENT
6The environment variables can be specified in lower case or upper case. The
7lower case version has precedence. http_proxy is an exception as it is only
8available in lower case.
9
10Using an environment variable to set the proxy has the same effect as using
11the --proxy option.
12
13.IP "http_proxy [protocol://]<host>[:port]"
14Sets the proxy server to use for HTTP.
15.IP "HTTPS_PROXY [protocol://]<host>[:port]"
16Sets the proxy server to use for HTTPS.
17.IP "[url-protocol]_PROXY [protocol://]<host>[:port]"
18Sets the proxy server to use for [url-protocol], where the protocol is a
19protocol that curl supports and as specified in a URL. FTP, FTPS, POP3, IMAP,
20SMTP, LDAP etc.
21.IP "ALL_PROXY [protocol://]<host>[:port]"
22Sets the proxy server to use if no protocol-specific proxy is set.
23.IP "NO_PROXY <comma-separated list of hosts/domains>"
24list of host names that shouldn't go through any proxy. If set to an asterisk
25\&'*' only, it matches all hosts. Each name in this list is matched as either
26a domain name which contains the hostname, or the hostname itself.
27
28This environment variable disables use of the proxy even when specified with
29the --proxy option. That is
30.B NO_PROXY=direct.example.com curl -x http://proxy.example.com
31.B http://direct.example.com
32accesses the target URL directly, and
33.B NO_PROXY=direct.example.com curl -x http://proxy.example.com
34.B http://somewhere.example.com
35accesses the target URL through the proxy.
36
37The list of host names can also be include numerical IP addresses, and IPv6
38versions should then be given without enclosing brackets.
39
40.SH "PROXY PROTOCOL PREFIXES"
41Since curl version 7.21.7, the proxy string may be specified with a
42protocol:// prefix to specify alternative proxy protocols.
43
44If no protocol is specified in the proxy string or if the string doesn't match
45a supported one, the proxy will be treated as an HTTP proxy.
46
47The supported proxy protocol prefixes are as follows:
48.IP "http://"
49Makes it use it as an HTTP proxy. The default if no scheme prefix is used.
50.IP "https://"
51Makes it treated as an \fBHTTPS\fP proxy.
52.IP "socks4://"
53Makes it the equivalent of --socks4
54.IP "socks4a://"
55Makes it the equivalent of --socks4a
56.IP "socks5://"
57Makes it the equivalent of --socks5
58.IP "socks5h://"
59Makes it the equivalent of --socks5-hostname
60.SH EXIT CODES
61There are a bunch of different error codes and their corresponding error
62messages that may appear during bad conditions. At the time of this writing,
63the exit codes are:
64.IP 1
65Unsupported protocol. This build of curl has no support for this protocol.
66.IP 2
67Failed to initialize.
68.IP 3
69URL malformed. The syntax was not correct.
70.IP 4
71A feature or option that was needed to perform the desired request was not
72enabled or was explicitly disabled at build-time. To make curl able to do
73this, you probably need another build of libcurl!
74.IP 5
75Couldn't resolve proxy. The given proxy host could not be resolved.
76.IP 6
77Couldn't resolve host. The given remote host was not resolved.
78.IP 7

80.IP 8
81Weird server reply. The server sent data curl couldn't parse.
82.IP 9
83FTP access denied. The server denied login or denied access to the particular
84resource or directory you wanted to reach. Most often you tried to change to a
85directory that doesn't exist on the server.
86.IP 10
87FTP accept failed. While waiting for the server to connect back when an active
88FTP session is used, an error code was sent over the control connection or
89similar.
90.IP 11
91FTP weird PASS reply. Curl couldn't parse the reply sent to the PASS request.
92.IP 12
93During an active FTP session while waiting for the server to connect back to
94curl, the timeout expired.
95.IP 13
96FTP weird PASV reply, Curl couldn't parse the reply sent to the PASV request.
97.IP 14
98FTP weird 227 format. Curl couldn't parse the 227-line the server sent.
99.IP 15
100FTP can't get host. Couldn't resolve the host IP we got in the 227-line.
101.IP 16
102HTTP/2 error. A problem was detected in the HTTP2 framing layer. This is
103somewhat generic and can be one out of several problems, see the error message
104for details.
105.IP 17

119Write error. Curl couldn't write data to a local filesystem or similar.
120.IP 25

132command, try doing a transfer using PASV instead!
133.IP 31

135resumed FTP transfers.
136.IP 33
