如何让我的网络上的其他人可以访问node.js服务器？

Question

This is a pretty straightforward question. Normally in a node app, you put http.listen('1300', '127.0.0.1); . Is there some way to do this so that other computer on my network can access the server?

I have tried this:

http.listen('1300', '192.168.0.1);

As well as this:

http.listen('1300', [My IP address]) 

Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

Problem solved by using this:

http.listen('1300');

And I access it by typing [hostname(in this case, my computers name)]:1300 into the URL bar. Hope this helps anyone who is having similar issues!

Answer 2

From the documentation http://nodejs.org/api/http.html#http_server_listen_port_hostname_backlog_callback

you should omit the host parameter.

the practice to add the address is just to increase security (limiting the allowed hosts to your machine)
