Is CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET needed for Request-URI different than Host header?

[decal]

I'm wondering if CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET would need to be added to curb in order to perform requests where the Request-URI is different than the HTTP request's Host header (see code block below.) Perhaps there is another way to do this with Curl::Easy that I am unaware of. Please advise!

GET http://localhost HTTP/1.1
Host: google.com

@decal i think maybe. If you send me a patch I could take a look more

@decal reading the libcurl docs on this it looks like it's for setting OPTIONS request headers see: https://curl.se/libcurl/c/CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET.html

curl = curl_easy_init();
if(curl) {
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://example.com/*");
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "OPTIONS");
 
  /* issue an OPTIONS * request (no leading slash) */
  curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_REQUEST_TARGET, "*");
 
  /* Perform the request */
  curl_easy_perform(curl);
}
