Run JSBin Locally - unable to save

[emnh]

When I edit the HTML or JS I get the following red error message at the top:

"I think there's something wrong with your session and I'm unable to save. Refresh to fix this, you will not lose your code." Clicking refresh doesn't help.

JS console shows "POST http://192.168.100.128:3000/save 403 (Forbidden)".

Server log, same, forbidden:
192.168.100.1 - - [Sun, 25 Jan 2015 00:59:43 GMT] "POST /save HTTP/1.1" 403 2982 "http://192.168.100.128:3000/?html,js,output" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.2; WOW64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/39.0.2171.99 Safari/537.36"

Setting the session secret didn't help.

Production or development doesn't make a difference.

Setting logger to "dev" in config.local.json didn't give any more output.

Fixing timezone didn't help.

Any tips for how to debug it?

It works in IE 10 and Firefox 35.0 but not in Chrome 40.0.2214.91.

In the POST data, checksum is false in Chrome while it looks like a checksum in IE and FireFox.

Does the folder "public/js/chrome" in the source code have something to do with Chrome browser? Are there specific code paths for Chrome?

Tried it on a public facing web host and there it worked, also in Chrome.
Other than that, node binaries were 32-bit on this working server, only other difference I know.

so answer is needing on a public facing web host ? today, I having the same error in Chrome 59.0.3071.104, and I am on a public facing web host, even though I having some doubts about meaning of the 'public facing web host '?

I don't remember much about this, but I think the JSBin site had to be accessed through a public domain name (or maybe public IP address was enough?). Sorry, I don't remember.

This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had recent activity. More importantly, jsbin has been undergoing a massive refactor by Remy, and a large number of issues have been resolved, but with the growing 600+ open issues, the Stalebot (me), has been brought in to try to manage the issues.
Keep an eye on jsbin.com blog posts and the @js_bin twitter account for updates on the new version of jsbin ❤️
It will be closed next week if no further activity occurs. Thank you for your contributions.
