# NAME
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLOPT_INTERFACE - source interface for outgoing traffic
|
||
|
|
||
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
|
||
|
~~~c
|
||
|
#include <curl/curl.h>
|
||
|
|
||
|
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_INTERFACE, char *interface);
|
||
|
~~~
|
||
|
|
||
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
Pass a char pointer as parameter. This sets the *interface* name to use as
|
||
|
outgoing network interface. The name can be an interface name, an IP address,
|
||
|
or a hostname.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If the parameter starts with "if!" then it is treated only as an interface
|
||
|
name. If the parameter starts with &"host!" it is treated as either an IP
|
||
|
address or a hostname.
|
||
|
|
||
|
If "if!" is specified but the parameter does not match an existing interface,
|
||
|
*CURLE_INTERFACE_FAILED* is returned from the libcurl function used to
|
||
|
perform the transfer.
|
||
|
|
||
|
libcurl does not support using network interface names for this option on
|
||
|
Windows.
|
||
|
|
||
|
We strongly advise against specifying the interface with a hostname, as it
|
||
|
causes libcurl to do a blocking name resolve call to retrieve the IP
|
||
|
address. That name resolve operation does **not** use DNS-over-HTTPS even if
|
||
|
CURLOPT_DOH_URL(3) is set.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The application does not have to keep the string around after setting this
|
||
|
option.
|
||
|
|
||
|
# DEFAULT
|
||
|
|
||
|
NULL, use whatever the TCP stack finds suitable
|
||

CURLcode res;

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/foo.bin");
|

curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_INTERFACE, "eth0");
