Arg: <protocol>
Added: 7.45.0
Category: connection curl
+Example: --proto-default https ftp.example.com
---
Tells curl to use *protocol* for any URL missing a scheme name.
-Example:
-
- curl --proto-default https ftp.mozilla.org
-
An unknown or unsupported protocol causes error
*CURLE_UNSUPPORTED_PROTOCOL* (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.
+Without this option set, curl guesses protocol based on the host name, see
+--url for details.
