Question

I'm working on this project that uses proxy server and curl in c and i cant find a good tutorial that teaches me how to. Can you please help me?? i need an example code that shows the use of a proxy server to connect to google.com. maybe using the CURLOPT_PROXY option.. Thanks in advance.

Well all you do is your normal curl retrieval, but just set the proxy server option.

   curl_easy_setopt(handle, CURLOPT_PROXY, "127.0.0.1:96666");

EDIT

  /* create headers */
  struct curl_slist *headers=NULL;
  headers = curl_slist_append(headers, "Content-Type: text/xml");

  /* pass our list of custom made headers */
  curl_easy_setopt(easyhandle, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, headers);
