How to Use curl with Proxy for Web Requests? Troubleshooting Tips Included

22 Replies, 1970 Views

Yo, I feel you. curl with proxy can be a pain sometimes. One thing to check is if the proxy requires HTTPS instead of HTTP. If it does, you’ll need to use `-x https://proxy:port` instead.

Also, make sure your proxy isn’t geo-restricted or blocking certain sites. I’ve had that happen before, and it drove me nuts until I figured it out.

For testing, you can use a tool like Postman to see if the proxy works outside of curl. It’s a bit easier to debug with a GUI.
