[issue17698] Setting allow_reuse_address in BaseHTTPServer has no effect.

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray added the comment:

Unless I'm misunderstanding something, that assignment is doing exactly what it intends to do, and is documented as being a supported API in TCPServer: changing the value of that class attribute to a true value for the BaseHTTPServer class.  (In particular, server_bind calls TCPServer.server_bind, passing it self.)

Can you explain more about what behavior you are seeing as the bug?
