# ENVIRONMENT
|
|
The environment variables can be specified in lower case or upper case. The
|
|
lower case version has precedence. `http_proxy` is an exception as it is only
|
|
available in lower case.
|
|
|
|
Using an environment variable to set the proxy has the same effect as using
|
|
the --proxy option.
|
|
|
|
## `http_proxy` [protocol://]<host>[:port]
|
|
Sets the proxy server to use for HTTP.
|
|
|
|
## `HTTPS_PROXY` [protocol://]<host>[:port]
|
|
Sets the proxy server to use for HTTPS.
|
|
|
|
## `[url-protocol]_PROXY` [protocol://]<host>[:port]
|
|
Sets the proxy server to use for [url-protocol], where the protocol is a
|
|
protocol that curl supports and as specified in a URL. FTP, FTPS, POP3, IMAP,
|
|
SMTP, LDAP, etc.
|
|
|
|
## `ALL_PROXY` [protocol://]<host>[:port]
|
|
Sets the proxy server to use if no protocol-specific proxy is set.
|
|
|
|
## `NO_PROXY` <comma-separated list of hosts/domains>
|
|
list of host names that should not go through any proxy. If set to an asterisk
|
|
'*' only, it matches all hosts. Each name in this list is matched as either
|
|
a domain name which contains the hostname, or the hostname itself.
|
|
|
|
This environment variable disables use of the proxy even when specified with
|
|
the --proxy option. That is
|
|
|
|
NO_PROXY=direct.example.com curl -x http://proxy.example.com
|
|
http://direct.example.com
|
|
|
|
accesses the target URL directly, and
|
|
|
|
NO_PROXY=direct.example.com curl -x http://proxy.example.com
|
|
http://somewhere.example.com
|
|
|
|
accesses the target URL through the proxy.
|
|
|
|
The list of host names can also be include numerical IP addresses, and IPv6
|
|
versions should then be given without enclosing brackets.
|
|
|
|
IP addresses can be specified using CIDR notation: an appended slash and
|
|
number specifies the number of "network bits" out of the address to use in the
|
|
comparison (added in 7.86.0). For example "192.168.0.0/16" would match all
|
|
addresses starting with "192.168".
|
|
|
|
## `APPDATA` <dir>
|
|
On Windows, this variable is used when trying to find the home directory. If
|
|
the primary home variable are all unset.
|
|
|
|
## `COLUMNS` <terminal width>
|
|
If set, the specified number of characters is used as the terminal width when
|
|
the alternative progress-bar is shown. If not set, curl tries to figure it out
|
|
using other ways.
|
|
|
|
## `CURL_CA_BUNDLE` <file>
|
|
If set, it is used as the --cacert value. This environment variable is ignored
|
|
if Schannel is used as the TLS backend.
|
|
|
|
## `CURL_HOME` <dir>
|
|
If set, is the first variable curl checks when trying to find its home
|
|
directory. If not set, it continues to check *XDG_CONFIG_HOME*
|
|
|
|
## `CURL_SSL_BACKEND` <TLS backend>
|
|
If curl was built with support for "MultiSSL", meaning that it has built-in
|
|
support for more than one TLS backend, this environment variable can be set to
|
|
the case insensitive name of the particular backend to use when curl is
|
|
invoked. Setting a name that is not a built-in alternative makes curl stay
|
|
with the default.
|
|
|
|
SSL backend names (case-insensitive): **bearssl**, **gnutls**, **mbedtls**,
|
|
**openssl**, **rustls**, **schannel**, **secure-transport**, **wolfssl**
|
|
|
|
## `HOME` <dir>
|
|
If set, this is used to find the home directory when that is needed. Like when
|
|
looking for the default .curlrc. *CURL_HOME* and *XDG_CONFIG_HOME*
|
|
have preference.
|
|
|
|
## `QLOGDIR` <directory name>
|
|
If curl was built with HTTP/3 support, setting this environment variable to a
|
|
local directory makes curl produce **qlogs** in that directory, using file
|
|
names named after the destination connection id (in hex). Do note that these
|
|
files can become rather large. Works with the ngtcp2 and quiche QUIC backends.
|
|
|
|
## `SHELL`
|
|
Used on VMS when trying to detect if using a **DCL** or a **unix** shell.
|
|
|
|
## `SSL_CERT_DIR` <dir>
|
|
If set, it is used as the --capath value. This environment variable is ignored
|
|
if Schannel is used as the TLS backend.
|
|
|
|
## `SSL_CERT_FILE` <path>
|
|
If set, it is used as the --cacert value. This environment variable is ignored
|
|
if Schannel is used as the TLS backend.
|
|
|
|
## `SSLKEYLOGFILE` <file name>
|
|
If you set this environment variable to a file name, curl stores TLS secrets
|
|
from its connections in that file when invoked to enable you to analyze the
|
|
TLS traffic in real time using network analyzing tools such as Wireshark. This
|
|
works with the following TLS backends: OpenSSL, libressl, BoringSSL, GnuTLS
|
|
and wolfSSL.
|
|
|
|
## `USERPROFILE` <dir>
|
|
On Windows, this variable is used when trying to find the home directory. If
|
|
the other, primary, variable are all unset. If set, curl uses the path
|
|
**"$USERPROFILE\Application Data"**.
|
|
|
|
## `XDG_CONFIG_HOME` <dir>
|
|
If *CURL_HOME* is not set, this variable is checked when looking for a
|
|
default .curlrc file.
