WCF listens 0.0.0.0 (on linux)

[Lycreal]

After I ran mono ASF.exe --server , I found the mono process listening 0.0.0.0:1242 .

 cloud@2  ~/ASF $ sudo netstat -antp | grep 1242
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:1242            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      19777/mono
 cloud@2  ~/ASF $ ssh 10.0.0.5
Last login: Sun Dec 11 17:03:24 2016 from 10.0.0.4
 cloud@centos  ~ $ telnet 10.0.0.4 1242
Trying 10.0.0.4...
Connected to 10.0.0.4.
Escape character is '^]'.

I tried changing WCFHostname from localhost to 127.0.0.1 in the ASF.json , nothing changes.

I think this shouldn't happen since the wki says:

ASF by default listens only on localhost address, which means that accessing ASF WCF from any other machine but your own is impossible.

ASF V2.1.6.8 on Ubuntu 16.04 .

Indeed it looks like BasicHttpBinding() is for some reason too stupid to handle even 127.0.0.1 case properly, I'm not entirely sure why but I confirmed it with MS docs, therefore I switched WCF to TCP binding instead, and that one listens correctly on 127.0.0.1 interface if you specify 127.0.0.1. For some reason it doesn't work with specifying localhost, therefore I also renamed property appropriately and enforced 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost from now on.

Thanks for report.
