# `--proxy-capath`

Same as --capath but used in HTTPS proxy context.

Use the specified certificate directory to verify the proxy. Multiple paths
can be provided by separated with colon (`:`) (e.g. `path1:path2:path3`). The
certificates must be in PEM format, and if curl is built against OpenSSL, the
directory must have been processed using the c_rehash utility supplied with
OpenSSL. Using --proxy-capath can allow OpenSSL-powered curl to make
SSL-connections much more efficiently than using --proxy-cacert if the
--proxy-cacert file contains many CA certificates.

If this option is set, the default capath value is ignored.
