1 Long: connect-to 2 Arg: <HOST1:PORT1:HOST2:PORT2> 3 Help: Connect to host 4 Added: 7.49.0 5 See-also: resolve header 6 Category: connection 7 Example: --connect-to example.com:443:example.net:8443 $URL 8 --- 9 10 For a request to the given HOST1:PORT1 pair, connect to HOST2:PORT2 instead. 11 This option is suitable to direct requests at a specific server, e.g. at a 12 specific cluster node in a cluster of servers. This option is only used to 13 establish the network connection. It does NOT affect the hostname/port that is 14 used for TLS/SSL (e.g. SNI, certificate verification) or for the application 15 protocols. "HOST1" and "PORT1" may be the empty string, meaning "any 16 host/port". "HOST2" and "PORT2" may also be the empty string, meaning "use the 17 request's original host/port". 18 19 A "host" specified to this option is compared as a string, so it needs to 20 match the name used in request URL. It can be either numerical such as 21 "127.0.0.1" or the full host name such as "example.org". 22 23 This option can be used many times to add many connect rules. 24
