L.S.
When doing [fossil ui] on my system[*], I get the HTTP error:
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080
The reason for this is probably that the client attempts to connect to
localhost, while the server is listening at (a hard coded?) 127.0.0.1.
I think so because the connection succeeds when I separately launch the
service using [fossil server], and next make the browser connect to
127.0.0.1.
So there is an issue with the interpretation of the hostname
"localhost". On my system, localhost resolves as ::1, which is not
127.0.0.1. That explains the connection failure.
If so, the solution would be to make client and server interpret the
name "localhost" in the same way. Or refrain from using "localhost" at
all, and use 127.0.0.1 at both sides, but then you will get issues at
the time when IPv4 is completely deprecated.
Best regards,
Erik Leunissen
