		<para>
			Specify a SOCKS5 proxy to connect through. "None" and "username"
			authentication types are supported. The <option>socks-url</option>
			must be of the form <option>socks5h://[username[:password]@]host[:port]</option>.
			The protocol prefix <option>socks5h</option> means that hostnames
			are resolved by the proxy. The symbols %25, %3A and %40 are URL
			decoded into %, : and @ respectively, if present in the username or
			password.
		</para>

		<para>
			If username is not given, then no authentication is attempted.
			If the port is not given, then the default of 1080 is used.
		</para>

		<para>
			If the host is given as an IPv6 address, it must be enclosed in
			square brackets, e.g. <option>socks5h://[::1]:1080</option>.
			Note that square brackets have special meaning in some shells, so
			the proxy url may need quoting in double or single quotes.
		</para>

		<para>
			More SOCKS versions may be available in the future, depending on
			demand, and will use different protocol prefixes as described in
			<citerefentry><refentrytitle><link xlink:href="https://linux.die.net/man/1/curl">curl</link></refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum> </citerefentry>.
