Yes, a patch would be great.

Hi,

looking at documentation for the configuration of the Acceptor, I see t=
hat
only the
listen port can be configured. The source reveals that the SocketAccept=
or
listens
on all local interfaces (line 116):

     108 SocketServer::SocketServer( int port, int timeout )
     109     : m_port( port ), m_monitor( timeout )
     110 {
     111   m_socket =3D socket( PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
     112   if ( m_socket < 0 ) throw std::exception();
     113
     114   m_address.sin_family =3D PF_INET;
     115   m_address.sin_port =3D htons( port );
     116   m_address.sin_addr.s_addr =3D INADDR_ANY;
     117   m_socklen =3D sizeof( m_address );
     118
     119   socket_setsockopt( m_socket );
     120   if ( !bind() ) throw std::exception();
     121   if ( !listen() ) throw std::exception();
     122   m_monitor.add( m_socket );
     123 }

The backlog is currently configured to the maximum value. This could be=

also configurable.

Since we work with virtual interface in the production environment, it
would be important
if we could specify a distinct host/IP address to listen on. The defaul=
t
could remain e.g.
"*" which could mean INADDR_ANY.

Oren, shall I provide a patch to implement this?

Cheers, J=F6rg
