Description
As of right now it's not possible to separately set local address for ipv4 and ipv6(only together)
It would make sense to expose those separate(say I wanna bind local address just for ipv4 or just for ipv6)

Research direction
Read src/client/connect/http.rs around the referenced lines 171 and 187 first, focusing on how the current local address is applied to IPv4 and IPv6 connections. Done means HttpConnector can configure separate local addresses for IPv4 and IPv6, including configuring only one address family; the issue does not name a test file to run.
