rschmitt opened a new pull request, #585: URL: https://github.com/apache/httpcomponents-core/pull/585
Binding to 0.0.0.0 is not guaranteed to result in a socket that is reachable via the loopback address, even when requesting an ephemeral port assignment by binding to port 0. It is possible for another process on the system to bind to the loopback address at that same port, and then client requests will go to that process instead of the test server, resulting in occasional cryptic test failures. By instead binding to the loopback address specifically, rather than the wildcard address, we can prevent binding to a port that is already in use. This significantly improves the reliability of the test suite. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
