Best Practices for Using a curl Proxy: How to Set It Up and Avoid Common Issues?

25 Replies, 2170 Views

Yo, curl proxy setups can be a nightmare, but here’s a tip: use `--proxy-header` if you need to pass custom headers to your proxy. I’ve had to do this for some weird corporate setups, and it works like a charm.

Also, if you’re dealing with SSL issues, try `--proxy-insecure` to bypass cert checks temporarily. Just don’t use it in production, obviously.

For tools, I recommend Fiddler for debugging proxy traffic. It’s a bit heavy, but it’s worth it for the insights.
