Connecting through a proxy: Use the --proxy option.
To use a SOCKS proxy, add a socks4:// or socks5:// prefix to the proxy string.
If no protocol is specified, the proxy is assumed to be a HTTP proxy.
When the --proxy option is not used, the program honors the http_proxy
environment variable. In this case, however, libcurl 7.21.7 or newer is
needed to handle protocol prefixes.
Also many issues and FAQs are covered in the forum thread
dedicated to this program,
