Great, then I'll wait for your implementation.

I've done some changes in my local copy to get things working
until better implementation is ready.
In case you are interested I'm attaching a diff of these changes
(sorry, they got mixed with my earlier patch for #20370)

In the attached diff there is boolean ReuseAddress property
for TCustomHTTPApplication. The drawback of this approach is that
it's not uniform with TCustomFCgiApplication.ProtocolOptions
(serving the same purpose for FCGI application). The advantage
is that it does not declare new data structures and thus does
not force us to add more lower-level units into main program's
uses clause.
