Platform How were you accessing the qri frontend? [ ] app.qri.io [ ] electron app [x] local webapp

Version What version of the Qri frontend are you using?

Describe the bug getting qri backend closed when visiting the webapp from http://127.0.0.1

To Reproduce

  1. run qri connect from a terminal, see Webapp port: 2505 in output
  2. visit http://127.0.0.1:2505.
  3. app will fail to load.

Expected behavior App should load properly on both localhost and 127.0.0.1.

Additional details This is potentially a bigger issue for windows, where localhost doesn't reliably exist.

Note that http://localhost:2505/ works perfectly on my computer running on Google chrome.
