Bind to port implemented, but no bind to IP?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I see that the program has a bind-to-specific-port(s) option on the 
command line and via the config file. I don't see that there's a way to 
bind to a specific IP address. 

I've got a machine I'd like to have a "production quality" HTTP server as 
well as this lighter HTTP server. For reasons I don't want to go into, 
both NEED to be on port 80, I can only vary the IP address, not the port. 

It'd be nice if I could do that by having bind-to-ip functionality in 
mongoose, too.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
  mongoose-2.6 for Windows, via installer (not that it matters)
  Windows XP MCE 2002 SP3

Binding to IP is actually implemented. I just have checked wiki documentation 
and
found out that it has not been synced with the latest version, I will do it 
shortly.

Please use "mongoose -ports ip1:port1,ip2:port2,..."
Reopen the bug if it does not work.

I'm guessing this means it's bound by IP only, and not by interface.

In other words, I can either use this feature or DHCP, but not both unless I 
use 
static DHCP assignments to make sure the interface it's bound to keeps on being 
assigned the IP address in the config file...

That's fine, but I just wanted to clarify.

Hmm... I wonder... a utility to rewrite the config file to adjust the IP 
address 
based on the assigned one for a given interface... Nah... too messy... :)

Aha. Using Google Code for the first time, and hadn't noticed it was open 
issues 
only. I see that this was already flagged and discussed in issue #29.

Yeah, you need to have static IP assignment.
For dynamic IP assignment, you would need to patch main.c to periodically 
resolve
your own hostname, and if IP changes, do mg_set_option(... new_ip_address..) .
