+``--http-proxy=<proxy>``
+    URL of the HTTP/HTTPS proxy. If this is set, the ``http_proxy`` environment
+    is ignored. The ``no_proxy`` environment variable is still respected. This
+    option is silently ignored if it does not start with ``http://``. Proxies
+    are not used for https URLs. Setting this option does not try to make the
+    ytdl script use the proxy.
+
 ``--tls-ca-file=<filename>``
     Certificate authority database file for use with TLS. (Silently fails with
     older FFmpeg or Libav versions.)
