@AlanBateman I hadn't realised that the HttpServer didn't already have access to `sun.net.*` - and I agree that it would be better if we did not add such an access. That said - the new property is a compatibility property - and documenting in module-info seemed a bit too much - so out of the way in `net.properties` seemed like an appealing place to add it. 

Another possibility could be to document it only in the release notes.
