dev_appserver.py doesn't seem to process external requests?

[ericlee748]

Hey guys,

Before you flame me let me explain myself :)

When I write FaceBook applications, I like to point the callback URL
of the application to my local computer. I open up a port on my router
and let it pass through to my development machine. This helps me write
code faster since I don't have to FTP my code to my web host all the
time. It seems to take a while to upload an application to Google
AppEngine so I was really hoping to be able to do this.

However, when dev_appserver.py is running and listening on localhost:
8080, it does not seem to process requests that come in externally.
For example, if I use my real IP address (66.xxxxxxx), and port 8080,
I just get a server error.

Is there something in the dev_appserver that I can turn on so that it
can process external requests?

Thanks!

Eric.

run dev_appserver.py -a <EXTERNAL_IP_ADDRESS> and it will work on the
external IP Address.

if you use "-a 0.0.0.0" it will listen to all the interfaces (so you
can use either http://localhost:8080/ or http://your.ip.or.hostname:8080/

Has anyone been able to get the app engine work with a reverse proxy?
