Rceapp tn3270 profile host modification possibilities

RSE API has introduced tn3270 client possibilities. Sadly it connects only to the same host where rseapi is running and there's no override possibilities for the host address, the only possibility is to override port today in the rseapi server config. The rceapp web gui doesn't provide any profile update possibilities either.
We're running tn3270 server on a different address on the same host and need to override the host address. Because it's s3270 client under the covers that supports the host and port parameters, that should be easily implemented.
Please enable host configuration possibilities for the rceapp!
