+proxy. A pre proxy must be a SOCKS speaking proxy.
+
+The pre proxy string should be specified with a protocol:// prefix to specify
+alternative proxy protocols. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or
+socks5h:// to request the specific SOCKS version to be used. No protocol
+specified will make curl default to SOCKS4.
+
+If the port number is not specified in the proxy string, it is assumed to be
+1080.
+
+User and password that might be provided in the proxy string are URL decoded
+by curl. This allows you to pass in special characters such as @ by using %40
+or pass in a colon with %3a.
+
+If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.
The Bearer Token and user name are formatted according to RFC 6750.
If this option is used several times, the last one will be used.

+A pre proxy is a SOCKS proxy that curl connects to before it connects to the
+HTTP(S) proxy specified in the \fICURLOPT_PROXY\fP option. The pre proxy can
+only be a SOCKS proxy.
+
+The pre proxy string should be prefixed with [scheme]:// to specify which kind
+of socks is used. Use socks4://, socks4a://, socks5:// or socks5h:// (the last
one to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the resolving, also known as
\fICURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME\fP type) to request the specific SOCKS version to
be used. Otherwise SOCKS4 is used as default.
-Setting the proxy string to "" (an empty string) will explicitly disable the
-use of a proxy, even if there is an environment variable set for it.
+Setting the pre proxy string to "" (an empty string) will explicitly disable
+the use of a pre proxy.
.SH DEFAULT
-Default is NULL, meaning no socks proxy is used.
+Default is NULL, meaning no pre proxy is used.
When you set a host name to use, do not assume that there's any particular
single port number used widely for proxies. Specify it!
