On macOS, if you bind to an IP address (such as
127.0.0.1
) rather thanlocalhost
, then whenever you run the server after making changes you will receive a prompt from the system asking whether or not to allow connections.This is a bit annoying, so this code changes the default to
localhost
. Previously, the default was[::]
which is the same thing but triggers the firewall prompt.
