Serving on localhost with different hostname #60

Closed vrescobar closed 8 years ago

Hello,

I just followed the HelloWorld tutorial until I decided to test it by using the default neko server.

By my surprise when starting a neko server, it started a server using my hostname name at the default port, but it wasn't visible until I changed my local hostname to "localhost".

$ haxelib run ufront server
# Switching directory to www
# Starting Neko Server on newhope:2987

For sure I could fix it by adding an entry in /etc/hosts pointing to 127.0.0.1, but couldn't just the default server use 127.0.0.1 instead? By using other programs to serve from local filesystem never has such issue.

This is because ufront calls Host.localhost().toString() to get the host name. And that is neko's matter about returning non-"localhost" values.

You can specify the host name explicitly: ufront server --host localhost
