        If "localhost" is used, a warning message is logged about it.

        The protocol to use will be secure HTTPS if possible, otherwise the HTTP, even if it is zero for none.

        Parameters:
        extServerURL - The external server URL, null or empty for none.
        bind - Bind address specified, null or empty for none.
