curl & HTTP Clients

Use any HTTP tool with a CIFP proxy.

curl has first-class proxy support. CIFP works out of the box.

Basic Usage

bash

curl \
  -x https://proxy-abc123.proxy.cifp.vril.dev:3128 \
  -U "proxy-abc123-u1a2b3:your-proxy-password" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {\$OPENAI_API_KEY}" \
  https://api.openai.com/v1/models

Using Environment Variables

Set HTTPS_PROXY and no_proxy so all curl calls (and most HTTP tools) automatically use CIFP:

bash

export HTTPS_PROXY="https://proxy-abc123-u1a2b3:password@proxy-abc123.proxy.cifp.vril.dev:3128"
export NO_PROXY="localhost,127.0.0.1"

# Now any curl call is proxied automatically
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer {\$GITHUB_PAT}" https://api.github.com/user

POST with a Body

bash

curl -X POST \
  -x https://proxy-abc123.proxy.cifp.vril.dev:3128 \
  -U "proxy-abc123-u1a2b3:your-proxy-password" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer {\$STRIPE_SECRET_KEY}" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" \
  -d "amount=2000&currency=usd&source=tok_visa" \
  https://api.stripe.com/v1/charges

HTTPie

bash

http --proxy=https:https://user:pass@proxy-abc123.proxy.cifp.vril.dev:3128 \
  https://api.openai.com/v1/models \
  "Authorization: Bearer {\$OPENAI_API_KEY}"

wget

bash

https_proxy="https://user:pass@proxy-abc123.proxy.cifp.vril.dev:3128" \
  wget -q -O - \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer {\$GITHUB_PAT}" \
