Dear Core Devs,
for server administrators it is really annoying that binding to an
already bound address is throwing an exception without telling the
actual address. For products binding to many addressing, it is tedious
to check all the addresses.
I was asked several times why we don't contain the address in the
BindException, so it will show up in a log.
So I would like to contribute a small change which does exactly that:
make BindException tell the failing address.
Are you find with me opening a JBS and PR, or is there a good reason
why BindException does not tell the failing address?
Can you bring this to net-dev to discuss as the issue of these
exceptions revealing information and the security configuration to
enable enhanced exceptions has been discussed there a few times.
