It seems that setting an IP address with http_port has different

udp_incoming_address, by default udp_outgoing_address is set to
match.

Indeed, and this is what the documetation says.

But when setting http_port, tcp_outgoing_address is _not_ set
to match.

Correct, and the documentation also does not mention any relation between tcp_outgoing_address and http_port.


This configuration asymmetry is an important point if you care about the apparent TCP address of a requesting peer, as you will when you are constructing an ACL to work with redirector_access.

What you need to list is the address(es) the peers use to talk to you. This may be different from the http_port and quite often intentionally is different in multihomed setups.
