Hello,

I have simple question about curl. I am trying to understand what command in curl I am look at.

curl --interface "10.10.10.1." foo.com

From reading the curl man page I understand that the --interface is telling curl to use the interface specified to perform a specific operation.  In the example above I replaced the actual IP with the 10. non-routable IP, and replaced the real domain with foo.com.  What would be the purpose of setting the interface, which I am assuming is being designated by the IP address instead of the interface name (eth0). 

One last peace of info, the domain foo.com does not belong to the fake IP I supplied.

Thanks
