Andy Seaborne commented on JENA-74:
-----------------------------------
I tried the patch but it didn't do what I expected
--host=localhost seems to mean that the server can only be called via
localhost, not 192.168.1.10, it's IPv4 address
--host=192.168.1.10 seems to mean that the server can only be called via
192.168.1.10, not localhost.
This is the same (local) bowser.
If I read the documentation correctly, Jetty's Connector.setHost() affects
which local network interface the server listens on, not which hosts it will
accept connections from.
That can be used to only listen to local connections, which is the main use
case for the feature, but it isn't restricting to one client host.
IPv6 addresses work if written in [] e.g. localhost is [::1] like 127.0.0.1
> Enable Fuseki to only requests from a specified host.

>
> A simple fix to add an optional --host=hostnameOrIP to the fuseki-server
> command line arguments. If set Fuseki will only accept connections from the
> specified host.
> This allows a server to be fired up so that it will only accept connections
> from localhost.
> Further, an Apache server can be configured with a Fuseki server as a virtual
> host and Apache can apply access controls such as requiring basic
> authentication. This provides a mechanism for providing a limit form of
> access control to a Fuseki instance.
