How to make a cURL request with a specific proxy server?

To make a cURL request with a specific proxy server, you can use the --proxy flag followed by the proxy server URL. Here's an example command:

curl --proxy <proxy_url> <target_url>

Replace <proxy_url> with the URL of the proxy server you want to use and <target_url> with the URL of the server you want to send the request to. For example:

curl --proxy http://example-proxy.com:8080 https://api.example.com

This command will make a cURL request to https://api.example.com using the proxy server at http://example-proxy.com:8080.

Note: Some proxies may require additional authentication or other parameters to be passed along with the --proxy flag. Refer to your proxy server's documentation for the specific configuration details.
