Add support for setting the host in the executable

Merged Administrator requested to merge github/fork/shapeshed/patch-1 into master

Created by: shapeshed

This patch adds support for a host to be set with the node-http-proxy executable. It adds the --host argument meaning you can do

node-http-proxy --config config.json --host 192.168.3.37

My use case is that I have a server that has the following IP addresses assigned to it

  • 192.168.3.5
  • 192.168.3.37

Port 80 on 192.168.3.5 is used by Nginx and I want to use port 80 on 192.168.3.37 for node-http-proxy. Without the patch the executable binds to INADDR_ANY and because Nginx is already listening to port 192.168.3.5:80 I get

Error: listen EADDRINUSE
