Use generic extensible URI identifiers in the config file instead of current bind_address/port
Today, to specify IP address and ports to connect to in the configuration file, one has to set the following:
bind_address = 127.0.0.1
admin_port = 33013
This scheme has the following shortcomings:
- there is no way to specify the desired transport (e.g. ssl).
- each protocol requires its own port
- there is no support for DNS
- there is no support for UNIX sockets or other transport mechanisms.
We need a scheme which allows to specify:
- multiple ports/transports to listen on
- an IPV6 address
- choose transport format
- use unix sockets or DNS if necessary
Something like:
listen_on = 127.0.0.
- bind to address 127.0.0.1, port 33013, support on this address/port rpl, binary and admin protocols
listen_on = auth://
listen_on = ssl://192.
We'll have to perform some magic to ensure that multiple listen-to clauses do not contradict.
