How to run OwinHost from ip address not localhost without IIS

[Julian Bright]

Hi,

I have OwinHost running my WebApi controller, and am able to hit it here: http://localhost:5000/api/values/1

But when I try to hit the same location via an IP address eg: http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/values/1

I get a response of HTTP Error 400 Bad Request - Invalid Hostname.

Is OwinHost supported to run with an IP address, or does it need to be within a container such as IIS?

Thanks,

Julian.

Http.Sys is very specific about addresses.  When you send a request to 127.0.0.1 that shows up in the Host header too.  Http.Sys is complaining that your Host header does not match the given host localhost.  You can loosen it by giving it both urls or by specifying http://*:5000 or http://+:5000.
