Running xmlrpc client on specific port

[Lars Schnoor <La...@ifad.dk>]

Hi everyone
I have seen that a xmlrpc server can be created giving both a network 
port and an IP-address. For me this sounds like the server can be made 
to listen on a specific network interface. When creating a xmlrpc client 
only a port and address of the xmlrpc server is given. Is it possible to 
specify a IP-address for the client to use for connecting to the server? 
I mean if the client computer has multiple network cards and one 
specific should be used to connect to the server running the xmlrpc 
server software.
Thanks in advance!

Lars

Hi, Lars,

I haven't got the slightest idea, whether the Sun HttpURLConnection or
the Apache
HttpClient (hence the respective transports) provide that possibility.
It should be
possible to hack the Light Transport in that direction, but I won't be
the one to do it. :-)
