Confusion with HTTP Listener

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

Why is it that when I add the following prefix to my HTTP Listener "http://localhost:8080/" , the HTTP listener starts and works fine, but as soon as I type in the IP address for a prefix as follow "http://10.0.0.111:5555/", and the listener starts, the following exception is thrown: "Access is Denied". When I type in localhost, shouldn't localhost be the same as typing in the IP address?

Will this issue be resolved when starting the listener on a computer with an static IP address?

Is your app running with elevated privilege?

Normal accounts cannot hook the Http pipeline without first making a reservation. It can be done programatically at install time. Ref:
