[New-bugs-announce] [issue8884] Allow binding to local address in httplib / http.client

[Gaz Davidson]

New submission from Gaz Davidson <garethdavidson at gmail.com>:

The option to bind to a local IP address when creating an HTTP connection would be very useful for web testing tools like FunkLoad and webunit. 

For example in FunkLoad it would allow us to run tests with IP-based load balancing.
