Feature #2394

WebSocketChannel: configurable list of endpoints to bind to
Added by Alex Afanasyev almost 10 years ago.
Updated almost 6 years ago.
Description
It would be good to allow users to restrict WebSocket connections (i.e., bind WebSocketChannel to localhost address). Right now we don't seem to have that option in the configuration file/protocol factory.

I agree with the necessity of this option: operator may want to expose NFD WebSocketChannel to local IP only, and use a front-end proxy (such as nginx) to expose it for client to use.
I don't feel the importance of this feature.
This can be scheduled after #2107, or even be pushed off to v0.4 if necessary.
An on/off switch is too restrictive.
I suggest a configuration option "bind IP address" in the form of an unordered list of IP addresses:
127.0.0.1, [::1] gives local-only0.0.0.0, [::] gives all IPs- other values can be used for further customization
UDP and TCP also need similar options.
Yes. This feature can be postponed to the later.
This is somewhat similar to #1712 but at the channel level, i.e. for unicast faces.
- Target version changed from v0.3 to v0.4
- Target version deleted (
v0.4)
I want to revise my note-1 idea as a single endpoints option that covers both IP and port number.
This option replaces enable_v4 enable_v6 port options.
Its value is an unordered list of FaceUris, such as udp4://0.0.0.0:6363 tcp6://[::]:6363 ws://127.0.0.1:9696.

Teng says he wants a Feature to work on, and this one seems to match his expertise.
This feature can be applied to all channel types, not just the WebSocket one.
