 The response may contain multiple HTTP headers with the same name, which the `Headers` object isn't able to properly represent. If this matters to you, use `response.raw_headers`, which is an array of key value pairs, instead of `response.headers`. There is support for streaming the response body using a `ReadableStream`, as well as canceling requests using an `AbortSignal`. All requests made using this method share the same connection pool, which has a limit of 50 active TCP connections.
 
+The `proxy` option may be used to specify the URL of a `socks5h`, `socks4a`, or `http` proxy server. For example `proxy: "socks5h://127.0.0.0:1080"` will set the proxy server for just the current request.

 ### Creating New HTTP Sessions:

 The valid HTTP session settings are:
 - `enable_cookies` - A boolean which indicate whether or not cookies should be persisted within the session.
 - `cookie_jar` - A string containing the data in the cookie jar file. This should have been exported from a previous session. For more information on the format for this file, see the [curl documentation](https://curl.se/docs/http-cookies.html).

 The valid WebSocket options are:

+- `proxy` - A URL for a `socks5h`, `socks4a`, or `http` proxy server. 
 
 The callbacks work similarly to the `libcurl.CurlWebSocket` object, with the main difference being that the `onmessage` callback always returns a `Uint8Array`.
