--bind flag syntax

[pgcudahy]

Just upgraded to 0.8.0 and really appreciate the rapid progress. One thing that confuses me is why the new --bind flag requires a url and port combination if it's only intended for local binding. Is anyone using a url other than 0.0.0.0 / 127.0.0.1? I expected the flag to only need a port, eg --bind 10001 but that gives a fairly cryptic error of FATAL error: failed to parse bind address: address 10001: missing port in address. Can either the documentation be updated to indicate that a url:port combination is expected, or drop the requirement for a url?

Hey!

I just reviewed the code and it looks like what you are looking for is :10001. By default, the host is 127.0.0.1 and will always be the host if you only specify the port in this format: :${port}.

Perhaps a change to the flag description describing this syntax would be a good idea.
