HttpClient bind addr

[Dennis Cook <de...@cook-mail.net>]

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?
