I have two network interfaces on my computer ( eth0 and eth1) and I'm trying to Dial a connection using a specific one (eth1). Given the statement that Go is a system language I assumed so but is it really possible with the current standard library?
So far I've got to get the interface by name InterfaceByName
(eth1
) then I range over the Addrs
method and extracted the first address [0] which seems to be the source address of eth1 interface (e.g. xxx.xxx.xxx/24); the other one is the ipv6 address.
I've created a new Dialer
and set Dialer.LocalAddr
with the address extracted. However I get this error mismatched local address type
wich seems related to dialSingle function from dial.go
Edit Some code:
package main
import (
"net"
"log"
)
func main(){
ief, err := net.InterfaceByName("eth1")
if err !=nil{
log.Fatal(err)
}
addrs, err := ief.Addrs()
if err !=nil{
log.Fatal(err)
}
d := net.Dialer{LocalAddr: addrs[0]}
_, err = d.Dial("tcp", "google.com:80")
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Output:
2014/12/10 17:11:48 dial tcp 216.58.208.32:80: mismatched local address type ip+net
