NAME
       CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE - append FTP transfer mode to URL for proxy

SYNOPSIS
       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE,
                                 long enabled);

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 set-
       ting, or it being set to 0 (zero, the default), CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT(3)
       has  no  effect when doing FTP via a proxy. Beware that not all proxies
       support this feature.

DEFAULT
       0, disabled

PROTOCOLS
       FTP over proxy

EXAMPLE
       CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
       if(curl) {
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com/old-server/file.txt");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://localhost:80");
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_PROXY_TRANSFER_MODE, 1L);
         curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_TRANSFERTEXT, 1L);
         ret = curl_easy_perform(curl);
         curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
       }

AVAILABILITY
       Added in 7.18.0

RETURN VALUE
       Returns CURLE_OK if the option is supported,  and  CURLE_UNKNOWN_OPTION
       if the enabled value is not supported.
