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.
