Running HTTP service on random free port
Hi,
I'm looking at the HTTP Service and was wondering if anyone can tell if or
how I can let the implementation pick a free port for a service, instead
of having to choose one myself? The reachable address would be
communicated to the outside world by different means, but I don't want to
specify the port up front. From reading the docs it doesn't seem to be
possible.
Would have been nice for ad-hoc services and such.
thanks
Holger

Just wanted to nudge this conversation. The patch has been out there for a
while and was wondering if there is anything I should do.

Great! I would have gotten to it eventually but have other things on my
list for now. Will gladly provide moral support & help test :)

This sounds pretty interesting. I'll take a stab at this and be sure to
update the JIRA [1].

I'm pretty sure that's currently not possible.
You could try configuring it (through Configuration Admin) with port N, then register some servlet and see if you can actually reach that servlet (repeating those steps until you can) but that's not the most elegant solution.
The current configuration you can "see" by looking at the actual service properties, which are propagated from the configuration.
I think it would be nice to have a setting "port=random" or "port="pick-from-range(8000,9000)" or something similar, so why not supply a patch!
Greetings, Marcel
