Hello sjn456, You're completely right. That's precisely why the previous behaviour was corrected. It's browser security policies that restrict making calls to other domains or ports. If we allowed these in hosted mode, we would be setting developers up for a break once they go to production. What's more, I believe the new corrected behaviour is the result of an update to the latest XHR spec on supported browsers, meaning that allowing calls to go through to other ports would mean drawing back to older XHRs.
