It wasn't possible at all until very recently (7.21.7), and you do it by
setting the proxy variable with a socks protocol prefix, just as you tried!

Are you possibly using an older version now in your tests?

I just wrote up a test doing this with my curl dev version (to be committed as
test 709) and it worked just fine for me!
