The logic to detect various flavours of SOCKS proxy and ask the libcurl layer to use appropriate one understands the proxy string that begin with socks5, socks4a, etc., but does not know socks5h, and we end up using CURLPROXY_SOCKS5. The correct one to use is CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME. https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_PROXY.html says ..., socks5h:// (the last one to enable socks5 and asking the proxy to do the resolving, also known as CURLPROXY_SOCKS5_HOSTNAME type). which is consistent with the way the breakage was reported.
