> http service should allow the interfaces bound to be configured

> Issue Type: Wish

> As I primarily use the lightweight http service to debug using the webconsole
> it would be nice to only bind it to the local interface to limit access to
> the webconsole. This could be done by providing a configuration paramater to
> specify the host address to bind to and could also be useful for those
> running lightweight http on multihomed hosts.
> I have created a patch against 0.1.5-SNAPSHOT that includes such
> functionality. It uses org.apache.felix.http.host as the configuration key
> but this could be changed. The semantics of what should be done when the host
> specified cannot be resolved (eg: InetAddress.getByName() fails) may also be
> worth changing. Presently it just binds to all interfaces if it is unable to
> resolve/parse the address. Failing closed would be better in my opinion but
> might not be the most intuitive.
