That is very old. I'd advice you to upgrade.

CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE is the HTTP code of the remote server. When the proxy
itself returns failure (as in this case), you never reached the remote server
and thus you won't get the remote server's HTTP error code.

Yes, the proxy returns HTTP error codes too, but I think it would be very
confusing if libcurl in this case would decide to extract and return the code
from the proxy connection and not from the remote server.

Hm. I don't think we have any way of accessing this. Would you say a
CURLINFO_PROXY_HTTP_CODE (or similar) would fit?
