Brian J Ewing commented on COUCHDB-907:
---------------------------------------
So I had a look at this as an issue that looked self-contained enough for
someone new to look at.
But turns out it's not as trivial as I thought.
AFAICS, mochiweb doesn't support binding the same server to multiple addresses.
It could be achieved by making multiple calls to _mochiweb:start_, re-using the
_Loop_ handler, see
[couch_httpd.erl:155|https://github.com/apache/couchdb/blob/master/src/couchdb/couch_httpd.erl#L155].
I'll leave it to someone else to decide if this is a good idea.
The trouble is that mochiweb takes a name for each server (currently atom
_couch_httpd_) and to stop, we'd need to call _mochiweb:start_ and later
_mochiweb:stop_ with a name for each bound address.
Way forward looks to be either:-
1. Work upstream and add multiple address support to mochiweb
2. Just start multiple mochiweb daemons. Each bound address would have its own
daemon, this might have its own benefits(*_?_*)
3. Mark this ticket as won't fix, it doesn't seem like an essential feature
anyway.
