Hello,
Im looking a way to use different IP addresses for each GET request with standard Net::HTTP library. Server has 5 ip addresses and assuming that some API`s are blocking access when request limit per IP is reached. So, only way to do it - use another server. I cant find anything about it in ruby docs.
For example, curl allows you to attach it to specific ip address (in PHP):
$req = curl_init($url)
curl_setopt($req, CURLOPT_INTERFACE, 'ip.address.goes.here';
$result = curl_exec($req);
Is there any way to do it with Net::HTTP library? As alternative - CURB (ruby curl binding). But it will be the last thing i`ll try.
Suggestions / Ideas?
P.S. The solution with CURB (with dirty tests, ip`s being replaced):
require 'rubygems'
require 'curb'
ip_addresses = [
'1.1.1.1',
'2.2.2.2',
'3.3.3.3',
'4.4.4.4',
'5.5.5.5'
]
ip_addresses.each do |address|
url = 'http://www.ip-adress.com/'
c = Curl::Easy.new(url)
c.interface = address
c.perform
ip = c.body_str.scan(/<h2>My IP address is: ([\d\.]{1,})<\/h2>/).first
puts "for #{address} got response: #{ip}"
end
