I note that UDP and RAW socket support is on it's way -- does this include support for specifying other parts of the address request? I need tcp clients and servers to bind to source addresses that aren't the default address on the machine.

Yes this is implemented in my working version. You have to say for example:

(open-tcp-server (list port-number: 80 server-address: '#u8(127 0 0 1)))

If you use #f for the server address, or you omit it, you get INADDR_ANY (listen on all interfaces).

I started digging into working on this myself, but it seems a bit more complicated than I was hoping.

Is support for the full set of socket options planned? Soon?

Which options are you interested in?
