Proxy Settings for Windows 7 Command Prompt

You can set your proxy using a set command in windows:

set http_proxy=http://<yourproxyaddress>:<port>

Then you can connect your curl requests to external sites.

windows curl proxy cmd

Some proxies require specific authentication headers to be set, so be aware of those as well. In my case, it's --proxy-ntlm in the example below:

curl -x webproxy.net:8080 -U usernaname:password http://google.com --proxy-ntlm

But there're other options:

--proxy-digest and --proxy-negotiate

Lastly, cURL has a super friendly doc page, so be sure to check it out.
