I wanted to download using the specified IP address.

The command line used earlier is:
curl -v3 -P "167.68.0.67" -sc COOKIE
"http://courtgate.coca.co.clark.nv.us/DistrictCourt/asp/CaseNo.asp" >
/dev/null

The --interface option results into error. Here is the commandline and log
detail:
curl -v3 --interface "167.68.0.67" -sc COOKIE
"http://courtgate.coca.co.clark.nv.us/DistrictCourt/asp/CaseNo.asp" >
/dev/null

* About to connect() to webproxy port 80
* getaddrinfo(3) failed for 167.68.0.66:0
* Couldn't bind to '167.68.0.66'
* Closing connection #0

You mean you want to fetch from that IP

         curl http://167.68.1.66/

or use it as source-IP?

         curl --interface 167.68.1.66 [URL]

-p enables proxytunnel. How would that help you?

-P enables FTP PORT. I don't see how that helps you either.

-v and -3 are two options.

Different than what? Can you show us a full command line?

It does if you transfer with FTP and the given IP is the one you want the
server to contact you back on. Otherwise it doesn't.
