[jira] Commented: (FELIX-2786) Allow HTTPService to pick a random free port in a given range

["Felix Meschberger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12985908#action_12985908 ] 

Felix Meschberger commented on FELIX-2786:
------------------------------------------

why not use OSGi Version-style ranges ? Something like

   port=8000 -- fixed port 8000
   port=[8000,9000)  -- test ports 8000...8999

>             Project: Felix
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: HTTP Service
>    Affects Versions: http-2.0.4

>            Priority: Minor

> Sometimes we cannot configure the used port for a HTTPService up front, so it would be nice to have the service select one itself; the chosen port would then have to be communicated to the outside world. Since it should not just select any random port e.g. for security reasons, it should be possible to specify a range as property.
> Marcel suggested a port config value along the lines of port="random" or port="pick-from-range(8000,9000)".
