hs.httpserver not working on MacOS Sonoma 14.6.1

[hacker-DOM]

Consider this code:

local http_server = hs.httpserver.new(false, false) -- ssl, bonjour

local function handle_request(method, path)
    print("Received request:", method, path)
    return 200, "Success", "text/plain"
end

http_server:setPort(1234):setName("test"):setCallback(handle_request):start()

When I go to http://localhost:1234, I would expect to see the log, but nothing happens.

I believe this should show me whether a program is listening on port 1234

❯ lsof -P -iTCP:1234 -sTCP:LISTEN

but again it is empty.

I am on Macos @ 14.6.1 and Hammerspoon @ 0.9.97. Maybe I have to give Hammerspoon additional permissions or something (I couldn't find anything).

Thank you!
