cURL : How do you highjack DNS when there is no permission

Recently, I have landed on an issue, and I need to test a https domain by "hijacking" the DNS (I am getting a different IP being in a different part of the world)

So I decided to use my favorite tool curl with "-H" or --header option, No Luck. And I understand we need to manipulate the SNI. Host entry is the best way, but what if you are not a privileged user... sigh

But, here is the Panacea to address this convoluted issue  - "Lickety-Split"

curl --resolve domainname:port:ipaddress https://url/path


curl --resolve xyx.test.com:443:1.1.1.1 https://xyx.test.com/path
