local address argument to override localhost in portForward API

[MatanLevy]

Hi, I see currently that the API for port forwarding does not support passing as an argument local address (as possible in kubectl command: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/generated/kubectl/kubectl-commands#port-forward), but only container port and local port, so it will always default to localhost address.

Is there a way to achieve override to localhost with my address with current API ?

and if not, is it possible to add support for it?

Thanks!

@MatanLevy : Hello, I remember while investigating #3234 I had added an additional method to PortForwardable interface. I've created a draft PR for this https://github.com/fabric8io/kubernetes-client/pull/3730

Would it be possible for you to review/try it out by building SNAPSHOT based on my branch and provide feedback on whether it's working for your use case?

I think the local address can be provided like this:

Shall we close this issue?
