Wikipedia says: "HTTP alternate (http_alt)—commonly used for Web proxy and caching server, or for running a Web server as a non-root user" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers Squid uses 3128 by default last time I looked. I see that Wikipedia says: "Web caches and the default for the Squid (software)" So I would not say 8080 is a default. As far as I am concerned, you should not assume libcurl will have any default port for an HTTP proxy, because it is not standardised.
