+Long: proto-default
+Help: Use PROTOCOL for any URL missing a scheme
+Arg: <protocol>
+Added: 7.45.0
+---
+Tells curl to use \fIprotocol\fP for any URL missing a scheme name.
+
+Example:
+
+ curl --proto-default https ftp.mozilla.org
+
+An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error
+\fICURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL\fP (1).
+
+This option does not change the default proxy protocol (http).
+
+Without this option curl would make a guess based on the host, see --url for
+details.
