+Help: Operate through an HTTP proxy tunnel (using CONNECT)

+# `--proxytunnel`
+
+When an HTTP proxy is used --proxy, this option makes curl tunnel the traffic
+through the proxy. The tunnel approach is made with the HTTP proxy CONNECT
+request and requires that the proxy allows direct connect to the remote port
+number curl wants to tunnel through to.
+
+To suppress proxy CONNECT response headers when curl is set to output headers
+use --suppress-connect-headers.
