Thank you very much for the details and for your work. I've now committed a

Sounds like a bug, but test case 264 actually verifies that this works, and it

The proxy host name parser doesn't care about the protocol prefix used, you
need to set the type with CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE. But it should get the proxy user
