Does curl go through proxy?

Yes, Curl supports proxies via the -x or --proxy command line option. It is recommended that you enclose the proxy server address in double quotes to handle special characters in the URL correctly. Note that the default proxy protocol for Curl is HTTP.

What is no_proxy used for?

noproxy value defines a list of destination domain names, domains, IP addresses or other network CIDRs to exclude proxying. no_proxy provides a way to exclude traffic destined to certain hosts from using the proxy.

What does no_proxy mean?

no_proxy is a comma- or space-separated list of machine or domain names, with optional :port part. If no :port part is present, it applies to all ports on that domain. Example: no_proxy="cern.ch,some.domain:8001"

Is curl only for HTTP?

cURL supports several different protocols, including HTTP and HTTPS, and runs on almost every platform.

Does curl default to HTTP or HTTPS?

curl defaults to HTTP/1.1 for HTTP servers but if you connect to HTTPS and you have a curl that has HTTP/2 abilities built-in, it attempts to negotiate HTTP/2 automatically or falls back to 1.1 in case the negotiation failed. Non-HTTP/2 capable curls get 1.1 over HTTPS by default.

Does curl use HTTP or TCP?

Most of the protocols you use with curl speak TCP. With TCP, a client such as curl must first figure out the IP address(es) of the host you want to communicate with, then connect to it. "Connecting to it" means performing a TCP protocol handshake.

Is no proxy safe?

No, it is not a security threat to your computer.

Is it OK to disable proxy?

It's safe to disable a device's proxy unless you want to hide your IP address from the sites you're visiting.

How do I bypass SSL in curl?

To bypass SSL certificate validation for local and test servers, you can pass the -k or --insecure option to the Curl command. This option explicitly tells Curl to perform "insecure" SSL connections and file transfers. Curl will ignore any security warnings about an invalid SSL certificate and accept it as valid.

Is it OK to disable proxy?

It's safe to disable a device's proxy unless you want to hide your IP address from the sites you're visiting.

Does cURL work with HTTPS?

Curl is a command line tool for transferring data to and from servers. Curl supports over 25+ protocols including HTTP and HTTPS.

How to disable SSL peer verification in cURL?

If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use the -k (or --insecure) option.
