Prompt Detail:

To make curl only use IPv4, you can add the -4 or --ipv4 option in your .curlrc file. The .curlrc file is typically located in your home directory (~/.curlrc).

Here's how you can add the option to your .curlrc file:

  1. Open a terminal.

  2. Use a text editor to open or create the .curlrc file in your home directory. You can use a command like nano or vi. For example:

    bash
    nano ~/.curlrc
  3. Add the following line to the .curlrc file:

    diff
    -4

    This line tells curl to use IPv4 only.

  4. Save the file and exit the text editor.

Now, curl will always use IPv4 when making requests unless you specify a different option on the command line, such as --ipv6 to force IPv6 usage for a specific request.
