Question

How can I bind web.py to the loopback interface?

app = web.application(urls, globals())

When I define it this way and start it, it listens on all interfaces:

mit@mit1 $ python ./serve.py
http://0.0.0.0:8080/

It should be restricted to 127.0.0.1

Answer 1

Try the command below…

python ./serve.py 127.0.0.1 

It should do the trick!

c:\work\web.py\test1>python code.py 127.0.0.1
http://127.0.0.1:8080/
