Ability to select the interface(s) that the axis2_http_server listens at for 
http requests

                 Key: AXIS2-4423
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-4423
             Project: Axis 2.0 (Axis2)
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: transports
            Reporter: Patrick Cosmo


When a server has multiple network interface cards (and therefore multiple IP 
addresses), it is often important to be able to configure which interface a 
service listens at.

For example, consider a server that has an interface with a public IP address 
and a second interface with a private IP address. If the service is internal, 
you may wish it to be accessible from the private IP address but not the public 
IP address.

In my particular case, I'm using Axis2/C to build a service that supports a 
WSDL/SOAP API. More specifically, I'm using the same code used to build the 
Axis2/C "axis2_http_server.exe", but I'm embedding this code in my own 
application. For all intents and purposes this is just the 
"axis2_http_server.exe" server being run from inside another application.

So, even though the "axis2_http_server" may not support a command line switch 
that allows the interface to be configured, even if there was a programmatic 
way to configure this that would meet my requirements, and presumably that of 
others?
