The primary, and really only, difference between socks5:// and socks5h://
proxies is that the latter lets the proxy resolve the host name while in the
former case curl itself resolves the host name and passes on the IP address to
connect to instead of the host name.

I would say this might suggest that your host and the proxy resolves the host
name differently.
