Struggling with curl proxy settings? How do I properly configure a curl proxy for my requests?

Hmm, sounds like you’ve got the basics down, but curl proxy issues can be tricky. If it’s timing out, maybe your proxy is slow or overloaded. Try a different proxy and see if that helps.

For global settings, I’d recommend using a `.curlrc` file like someone else mentioned. It’s way cleaner than aliases or env vars.

Also, if you’re dealing with auth, make sure your proxy supports the auth method you’re using (basic, digest, etc.). You can specify it with `--proxy-anyauth` if you’re unsure.
