Apparently this:
    if (!bind(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr)))
          return (fd);

addr is of type http_addr_t, defined in cups/http.h thus:
typedef union _http_addr_u              /**** Socket address union, which
                                         **** makes using IPv6 and other
					 **** address types easier and
					 **** more portable. @since CUPS 1.2/OS X 10.5@                                  ****/
										{
  struct sockaddr       addr;           /* Base structure for family value */
  struct sockaddr_in    ipv4;           /* IPv4 address */
#ifdef AF_INET6
  struct sockaddr_in6   ipv6;           /* IPv6 address */
#endif /* AF_INET6 */
#ifdef AF_LOCAL
  struct sockaddr_un    un;             /* Domain socket file */
#endif /* AF_LOCAL */
  char                  pad[256];       /* Padding to ensure binary compatibility */
} http_addr_t;

I'm not sure how to handle this.

Thanks,
