Subject: [ruby-core:45764] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6617] Net::HTTP: Bind to a specific local IP/port


Issue #6617 has been updated by drbrain (Eric Hodel).

Category set to lib

Bind to a local port like TCPSocket.new does?  I'm sure this feature could be added.

I think the easiest way to add it would result in an API like:

  http = Net::HTTP.new remote_host
  http.local_host = local_host
  http.start do
    ���
  end

Instead of passing the local host and port as parameters to Net::HTTP.new or Net::HTTP.start.

Category: lib
Target version: 


Despite having several solutions floating around the net, this feature is currently not present in Net::HTTP. I searched the issues but didn't find any discussion on this. How does the dev team feel about this? Can I submit a patch for revision?
