I've created an RFE at https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8209137
to track this. I imagine the simplest solution would be to be able to
specify the local
address when constructing a HttpClient, and then all connections created
using that
client would be bound to the chosen address.

Hi,
I just discussed with a colleague that we dreadfully miss the ability
in the old HttpURLConnection to set the address to which the client
locally binds, which we require to get through the firewalls of our
business partners when connecting from a multihomed system. This
repeatedly caused us to use third-party libraries, which are powerful
on the one hand, but cumbersome on the other.
With the new HTTP2 client in mind, I wanted to tell him, wait, with
Java 9+, it will be better. But I checked first and discovered that
there is still no way to do so.
So, when you eventually revise the API, it would be nice if you could
consider the addition of such a feature.
