Package: libcurl3 Version: 7.38.0-4+deb8u3 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
My system has 2 network interfaces, one of which is connected to the internet, and the other is connected to an internal network. My application is using libcurl to send HTTP and HTTPS requests to various servers. I wish to be able to use hostnames on both interfaces, and the respective DNS servers to resolve those names. The curl documentation provides the options CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE, CURLOPT_DNS_SERVERS for just this purpose. However, those options require libcurl to be compiled with the c-ares backend. Refer to: https://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_DNS_INTERFACE.html https://curl.haxx.se/dev/readme-ares.html Currently I am having to use IP addresses for the internal network. It seems like the only short term solution to use hostnames for both networks is to use a custom-compiled libcurl. In the future, can the official libcurl package be compiled with c-ares support? -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 8.0 (jessie) Release: 8.0 Codename: jessie Architecture: armv6l Kernel: Linux 4.4.6+ Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libcurl3 depends on: ii libc6 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii libcomerr2 1.42.12-1.1 ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u2 ii libidn11 1.29-1 ii libk5crypto3 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u2 ii libkrb5-3 1.12.1+dfsg-19+deb8u2 ii libldap-2.4-2 2.4.40+dfsg-1 ii librtmp1 2.4+20150115.gita107cef-1 ii libssh2-1 1.4.3-4.1+deb8u1 ii libssl1.0.0 1.0.1k-3+deb8u4 ii multiarch-support 2.19-18+deb8u4 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-2 Versions of packages libcurl3 recommends: ii ca-certificates 20141019+deb8u1 libcurl3 suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
