# `--proxy-cert`

Use the specified client certificate file when communicating with an HTTPS
proxy. The certificate must be PEM format. If the optional password is not
specified, it is queried for on the terminal. Use --proxy-key to provide the
private key.

This option is the equivalent to --cert but used in HTTPS proxy context.
