From Apples documentation on SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies,
"Return Value: A dictionary of key-value pairs that represent the current internet proxy settings, or NULL if no proxy settings have been defined or if an error occurred. You must release the returned value."

The use of SCDynamicStoreCopyProxies without releasing the returned memory has resulted in a memory leak in curl 7.77.0.

It seems this breaks the cmake builds?

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_CFRelease", referenced from:
      _Curl_resolv in hostip.c.o
ld: symbol(s) not found for architecture x86_64
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

Looks as though I will need to link in CoreFoundation

Sorry to re-open this task, but are there any plans for a curl 7.77.1 release with this bug fixed in the near future? Thank you

@tawmoto The next release is in less than 2 weeks (21st of July), so I don't think so.
