The Pylons developers need your help. In order to change the default
host= in development.ini from 0.0.0.0 to 127.0.0.1 or localhost, as a
couple recent threads on this list have recommended for security, we
need to make sure it doesn't break on any platform.
I've seen computers that didn't recognize 'localhost' by default (I
think it was Mac OS 10.3 servers but it may have been a Windows
computer). We're not sure if any plaform has trouble with 127.0.0.1
but Ben things the default was originally changed to 0.0.0.0 because
of such an issue on some platform. So we need you guys to test
whatever strange platforms you have access to and report back.
Just take any Pylons application and change the development.ini from:
host = 0.0.0.0
to
host = 127.0.0.1
and then
host = localhost
And see if you can still get to it from a browser.
I tested Windows XP and verified it works. Linux either comes with
localhost by default or the setup instructions say to configure it.
Mac OS X 10.4 has it though I couldn't get Pylons installed on it. :(
But that's a topic for another message.
