Request to `_nodes` does not return `http_address`

Description of the problem including expected versus actual behavior:
I am running a single ES node bound to a specific IP address (network.host: 10.26.1.102). As per the docs, the _nodes request should return, among other things, http_address, and yet it doesn't. Other fields are present, but that one is not. Is this a bug, or are the docs outdated?

Steps to reproduce:
curl -XGET 10.26.1.102:9200/_nodes?pretty

Provide logs (if relevant):

"nodes" : {
  "MU4dFMhCRCOd-dmzkRoncA" : {
    "name" : "MU4dFMh",
    "transport_address" : "10.26.1.102:9300",
    "host" : "10.26.1.102",
    "ip" : "10.26.1.102",
    "version" : "5.5.1",
    "build_hash" : "19c13d0",

    "roles" : [
      "master",
      "data",
      "ingest"
    ],
    ...

It's there, in the http object. You can see this by piping the output to grep (e.g., curl -XGET localhost:9200/_nodes?pretty=true | grep -A 8 http) or via more sophisticated means such as curl -XGET localhost:9200/_nodes/http?pretty=true which filters the response down to only the http object or curl -XGET localhost:9200/_nodes | jq '.nodes | .[].http'.

Thanks for your reply. Here's what I get in the http object.

"http" : {
  "bound_address" : [
    "10.26.1.102:9200"
  ],
  "publish_address" : "10.26.1.102:9200",
  "max_content_length_in_bytes" : 104857600
},

I'm upgrading from ES1.7, so I take it that http.publish_address now holds the data that used to be in http_address in the older version? The docs are definitely outdated then.

I pushed 91fb08a; the docs will update on the website automatically soon.
