Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I was not aware that is is possible to bind to a specific interface address (typically localhost for security reasons) and have been using allow_ip()
as an inferior substitute.
Describe why the feature or enhancement you are proposing fits the library.
The feature is supported already but not documented.
Describe the solution you'd like
Document bind_address()
in README.md similar to port()
and bind_socket()
Describe alternatives you've considered
It would be nice if bind_address()
alternately accepted an address in the same IP string format used by allow_ip()
rather than forcing the caller to construct a struct sockaddr
.
