Summary0001343: Enhance MHD_start_daemon to support binding on specific interface or IP address
DescriptionSince I want to use SSL feature with libmicrohttpd,
I chose stunnel to be working as front-end of HTTPS.
However, for security issue, I prefer libmicrohttpd to
listen on localhost network device only.

Here I manually modified daemon.c (within MHD_start_daemon)
for IPv4 binding:
  if ((options & MHD_USE_IPv6) != 0)
    {
      /* ... */
    }
  else
    {
      memset (&servaddr4, 0, sizeof (struct sockaddr_in));
      servaddr4.sin_family = AF_INET;
      servaddr4.sin_port = htons (port);
      servaddr4.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK); /* Here */
      servaddr = (struct sockaddr *) &servaddr4;
      addrlen = sizeof (struct sockaddr_in);
    }
Additional InformationSo, how about enhance MHD_start_daemon (for both IPv4 & IPv6)
to bind specific network interface or address?

Option was added by LV-426, I added the docs, so this is now done.
