Sorry for the top post but I don't have my laptop with me and, well frankly I'm too tired to be arsed! I think the confusion is coming from the word bind. I don't think man people at aware of he difference between binding a socket and having it listen on the port to which it's bound. People... when you make an outgoing connect ion (using the curl functions, the socket functions, or whatever), the socket is bound to an IP and arbitrary port on the network interface over which the connection is being made. Antonio is wanting to specify which IP address on the interface is used (this is the IP address from which the other end will see the connection coming). This is not hard to understand but it's not well known that the bonding process happens to both ends of a socket connection, and from what I've seen nobody has bothered to explain that. Apache, nginx, whatever the web server is has nothing to do with the question. I hope that helps clear it up for those who are confused. -Stuart -- Sent from my leaf blower On 14 Sep 2012 21:01, "Tonix (Antonio Nati)" <tonix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Il 14/09/2012 21:19, Jim Lucas ha scritto: > >> On 09/13/2012 04:15 PM, Tonix (Antonio Nati) wrote: >> >>> >>> Jim, sorry but you did not read carefully my posts. >>> >>> Since the fist post, I ALWAYS spoke about connections a PHP script may >>> open autonomously (what you name second connection). >>> >>> I'm never speaking about listening/intercepting/using the original HTTP >>> request. >>> >> >> Then why did you bring up apache?
