- Provide a custom address for a specific host and port pair. Using this, you
- can make the curl requests(s) use a specified address and prevent the
- otherwise normally resolved address to be used. Consider it a sort of
- /etc/hosts alternative provided on the command line. The port number should be
- the number used for the specific protocol the host will be used for. It means
- you need several entries if you want to provide address for the same host but
- different ports.
- By specifying '*' as host you can tell curl to resolve any host and specific
- port pair to the specified address. Wildcard is resolved last so any --resolve
- with a specific host and port will be used first.
- The provided address set by this option will be used even if --ipv4 or --ipv6
- is set to make curl use another IP version.
- By prefixing the host with a '+' you can make the entry time out after curl's
- default timeout (1 minute). Note that this will only make sense for long
- running parallel transfers with a lot of files. In such cases, if this option
- is used curl will try to resolve the host as it normally would once the
- timeout has expired.
- Support for providing the IP address within [brackets] was added in 7.57.0.
- Support for providing multiple IP addresses per entry was added in 7.59.0.
- Support for resolving with wildcard was added in 7.64.0.
- Support for the '+' prefix was was added in 7.75.0.
- This option can be used many times to add many host names to resolve.
