gin osx firewall issue

[Netherdrake]

Hi,

I started using gin today, but it keeps invoking OSX firewall each time the app binary is recompiled (in /gin-bin).

Do you want the application “gin-bin” to accept incoming network connections?

I checked if proxy is trying to bind on 0.0.0.0, but thats not the case. So I don't know why is it invoking the firewall popups.

hm. I haven't run into this issue before. Are you still able to reproduce this?

[Netherdrake]

Yup, every time.

I just run gin on sample martini.Classic() helloworld app.

Is this a gin-specific thing? Or Go's net/http in general? In my tests it looks like the OSX firewall needs you to allow a binary to accept incoming net connections for any Go app using the net package.

Well, as long as you're serving on 0.0.0.0 firewall comes up. If hoever
its just 127.0.0.1 than its fine.

ah okay. I know that martini can change the host via the HOST environment variable. maybe we should allow gin to have a configurable host via arguments

[tamasd]

Same happened to me, because if your HOST environment variable is empty, the server is trying to bind to :3000, which needs permission from the firewall. The solution is to invoke gin like this: HOST="localhost" gin.

[codegangsta]

ah okay. Maybe we can set the host to localhost as the default instead.

Yeah that should work.
