Bind to ip address other then INADDR_ANY #29

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
In a machine with many NICs/IPs we may need to select which local IP address 
to bind to. My sugestion is to add an option (bind_addr):
  mg_set_option(ctx, "bind_addr", "1.2.3.4")
It defaults to:
  sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
otherwise 
  sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("1.2.3.4");

Patch is trivial, let me know if you need one ... 

Best regards,
Rui

Change http://code.google.com/p/mongoose/source/detail?r=311

Instead of inventing another option, I decided to expand -ports option. You can
specify an address to bind to with a "ip_address:" prefix:

mongoose -ports 192.168.1.1:8080

Marking as done.
