Hosts configuration for simple spray server?

[Denis Papathanasiou]

Using the example from https://github.com/spray/spray-template I can build
and run a simple http server using the default interface as "localhost"
and the port 8080.

Checking with curl on localhost:8080 or http://127.0.0.1:8080 works.

But when I try using the host's ip address or local dns name fails,
giving me a "curl(7) couldn't connect to host" error.

In contrast, when I try python's built-in http server on the same port --
"python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080" -- I can connect using curl to all three
(localhost/127.0.0.1, ip address, dns name).

Is there some type of hosts configuration I also need when running my
spray server?

Hi Denis,

have you tried binding to 0.0.0.0? Otherwise, it will only listen on
the localhost interface and it depends on your dns configuration if
hosts are resolved to localhost.
