Subject: [ruby-core:45773] [ruby-trunk - Feature #6617] Net::HTTP: Bind to a specific local IP/port


Issue #6617 has been updated by mksm (Ricardo Amorim).


I agree. You can pass both local_ip and local_port to TCPSocket.open in Net::HTTP#connect.

Having the setter exposed would allow the user to change the local IP address between connections. Any ideas if this could cause problems with Net::HTTP or remote servers? There's also proxy and ipv6 support, both which I have never tested using this approach.

Author: mksm (Ricardo Amorim)
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
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?
