Hi Damitha, many thx for your fast reply! Also, when re-reading my posting, it sounded a bit like a complaint - this was not my intention, sorry for that!
Technically, yes, this would be for security reasons, to protect a server from remote access entirely. The advantages I see - very simple config + implementation (extending axutil_network_handler_create_server_socket should be no major problem, however I did not look at the calling code yet ... :-) - all config is in my own hands whereas setting up a firewall I have to ask other people (-> also a risk of breaking something) If I can formulate a wish, I'd prefer a way to set this programmatically similar to the port in axis2_http_server_create_*() but probably axis2.xml would be a nice place too (like "port"). If you feel, this would help, I'm happy to contribute.
