Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

It works fine before. but after I updated my proxy software, dl threw this errors. I tried following commands which all did not work:

youtube-dl --proxy 127.0.0.1:XXX
youtube-dl --proxy "127.0.0.1:XXX"
youtube-dl --proxy "https://127.0.0.1:XXX"
youtube-dl --proxy "http://127.0.0.1:XXX"

Thanks

Obviously your proxy does not work properly.

The proxy works Youtube online watching, just does not work for dl. proxychains4 works with my proxy well, too.
