I'm developing a webapp and want to test in different browsers, but cannot test with IE. I am stymied by the GAE development server's refusal to answer to any address other than "localhost", which is necessary to get my Windows VM to talk to the server. I have VMWare Fusion running IE6 with a so-called "Host Only" mode virtual network adapter and I want to connect to my GAE dev instance on port 8888. I successfully use this technique with Tomcat (on port 8080), so I know that my setup is working.
The key thing, I think, is to configure Jetty to answer to something other than either 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1'. A search through documentation, this group, and the general web turned up nothing. However I'd be surprised if this hadn't come up before. The other option, (which I would like to avoid, thank you!) is to write or install a reverse proxy server on my Mac that fools the GAE server into thinking packets are coming from 'localhost'. How do I get the GAE dev server to answer to something other than 'localhost'?
