Hi Daniel,

Unfortunately, "pycurl" is only compatible with libCurl version 7.18.2
(I've checked the source code and there's no reference to
"PRIMARY_IP") :
http://pycurl.sourceforge.net/

So, there no way to use "PRIMARY_IP".

While waiting a pyCurl upgrade or another advice, I'm using this litttle hack:

import socket
from urlparse import urlparse

url = 'http://curl.haxx.se/'
try:
   ipadrr = socket.gethostbyname_ex( urlparse( url )[1] )[2][0]
except:
   ipaddr = 'unknown'

which works almost all the time.

Regards
Ferret
