Package: yt-dlp

The app incorrectly interprets a SOCKS proxy as an HTTP proxy. The
host machine has both kinds of proxies configured for Tor as follows:
* SOCKS proxy listening on port 9050
* HTTP proxy listening on port 8118
This is the result of an attempt to use the socks5h:// scheme:

$ yt-dlp --proxy socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 --max-filesize 1M http://ng27owmagn5amdm7l5s3rsqxwscl5ynppnis5dqcasogkyxcfqn7psid.onion/watch?v=-Zj50DmBFp0

===8<----------------------------------------
The error message itself is erroneous nonsense. The user never claimed
Tor to *be* an HTTP proxy. Proxies are wholly independent of Tor and
should be treated genericly. yt-dlp is trying to be smart in working
out that an onion URL implies Tor, but really all it needs to know is
that the “h” in SOCKS5h means to make the proxy handle the DNS
resolution.
Workaround:
Supplying --proxy http://127.0.0.1:8118 works for me because I
happen to have an HTTP proxy configured as well. But the man page
explicitly states that both socks and http proxies are supported.
