Description

I want to send request through specific network interface using HTTP.jl like it works in here . In lib python requests it works correct. Or if to use curl, request should look like this: curl --interface <ip/name_of_interface> <host>

But in HTTP.jl I didnt find this feature. if I send request, my server is receiving request from tun0 interface. Does anyone know how this can be realize using the HTTP package. How to select the desired interface from the HTTP package

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how to bind to a specific network interface at the socket level in Julia's HTTP.jl. Look at the Sockets.jl package for setting socket options like SO BINDTODEVICE (Linux) or IP BOUND IF (macOS). Implement an optional `interface` parameter in the request functions.
