.SH NAME
CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE \- append FTP transfer mode to URL for proxy
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE,
                          long enabled);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. If the value is set to 1 (one), it tells libcurl to set the
transfer mode (binary or ASCII) for FTP transfers done via an HTTP proxy, by
appending ;type=a or ;type=i to the URL. Without this setting, or it being set
to 0 (zero, the default), \fICURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3)\fP has no effect when
doing FTP via a proxy. Beware that not all proxies support this feature.
.SH DEFAULT
0, disabled
.SH PROTOCOLS
All
