Curl: Curl and socks5

Hi All,

I was trying to use Curl with socks5 and am having slight problem.
The command line was something like this:

./curl --proxy socks5server http://www.kitware.com

The socks server is responding everytime the following HTML:

<html>
<head>
  <title>Configuration Error</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>This machine is not an HTTP proxy</h1>
  <p>
   Please check your proxy configuration settings. This machine
   is a SOCKS server, and your web client attempted to use it as
   as an HTTP proxy server.
  </p>
</body>
</html>

Is there a trick to tell Curl that the server is socks and not
regular proxy?

Please do not respond with FAQ 2.4, since I saw announcement that there
is limited socks support in curl.

Andy
