The way things are right now, the JAX-RS web service only listens to the local loopback addresses, unless you change the source and recompile.
I've submitted a patch that adds an optional commandline parameter, and changes the default behavior to allow *any* valid call to work. This means that the server responds to any valid hostname, ip, fqdn, etc., right out of the box. Some have suggested going back to the old behavior: loopback addresses only out of the box, while keeping the CLI parameter. It seems reasonable to ask the community: what should the default behavior be? - Tika server responds to any valid IP address or hostname (easier to operationalize) - Tika server responds only to loopback addresses, unless specifically told to be more permissive (more secure) Here's the ticket in question: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TIKA-1196 Thanks, -Rian
