I have just started poking around in the HttpClient project specifically due to a short-coming that I have found in Sun's implemenation of http client connections. I have found that I need to be able to specify the local IP for the socket that is created for an http client. While I have had no problems doing this when working with java.net.Sockets, this functionality seems to be the forgotten step-child when attempting to work at higher levels of abstraction.
I was hoping to find that this need was anticipated in the commons.HttpClient project but I seem to be mistaken as I can find no way to pass an InetAddress through the HttpClient class. Is it possible to create a client that binds to an address other than the default one for the host?
