My simple web server is Python3 SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and
it works just fine. It runs in a LAN machine's picture folder and I have tested it
using a browser and entering a test URL such as:
http://192.168.1.111:8000/2020-02-09/test.jpg
However, that same URL will not load by Picasso.
It will load local pictures via the "file://".
As test, I have tested an internet URL and it also loads successfully.
So I have narrowed down the problem to the LAN address.
I have tried the android:networkSecurityConfig solution but it did not work.
I'm running out of ideas at this point and about to ditch Picasso and
load the images via ftp but did not want to get into managing efficient memory
management. Please advise...
I spoke a bit too soon!
I tried to bypass Picasso and use an asyncTask based on java.net.URL(lanUrl)
and saw the error in the debug window:
java.io.IOException: Cleartext HTTP traffic to 192.168.1.150 not permitted
So, that got me to
Cleartext http traffic not permitted and revisit the networkSecurityConfig solution.
Using the accepted answer, the error is now gone and Picasso loads successfully. I only wish it had produced that error message!
Thanks goes to Shafi Muhammed.
When i try to launch an example it just says 'Connecting...'
I've set my server IP to be 127.0.0.1 which is default obviously
and it's also set to connect to that with the port 3993 and I've also tried the default one but still no luck.
I've also tried the default settings, fresh install, but still nothing was working, i could connect to my admin panel fine, but still nothing on the examples.
The last thing i tried was my IP-4 address with port 22 and nothing happened again.
Any fixes?
I think the default port for Smartfoxserver is 9933
Have been developing a Wordpress theme using MAMP (localhost:81), and I am now testing some responsive parts on iOS (using my IP (192.168.1.15:81).
Some images are hard-coded (i.e. not changeable from the admin), using the following code:
<img src="<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/brand-id.svg" onerror="this.src=<?php echo get_template_directory_uri(); ?>/images/brand-id.png" alt="Brand Name" />
It displays correctly both on localhost and IP, from desktop, but using the IP on iOS (8.1), it cannot find the resource, because it loads it in this form:
http://localhost:81/alexe.ro/wp/wp-content/themes/brand/images/brand-id.svg
I am using the Relative URL Wordpress plugin, but that seems to only work for loading the css/js/fonts.
Other details: the dynamic images (the ones uploaded from the cms) load perfectly.
How can I get the 'hard-coded' resources to switch between localhost and the IP, if necessary?
Thank you in advance.
The problem isn't related to IOS, it will fail to read the correct path from any machine in the LAN, apart from your dev one.
One of the solution is:
To make WP to always run under http://IP:port rather than http://localhost:port
In your case, it looks like your WP is in a sub directory /wp, then login to admin panel, and go and update as below:
Settings > General > WordPress Address >> http://192.168.1.15:81
Settings > General > Site Address >> http://192.168.1.15:81/wp
It's also recommended to set the dev machine with a static/preserved IP address on the router, so it will always receive the same one.
I also like the solution posted by #asherstoppard Well, you can play around and find which fits you the best.
One more tip: Backup your database first, in case anything bad happened.
Try adding the following to your wp-config.php file.
define('WP_HOME','192.168.1.15:81');
define('WP_SITEURL','192.168.1.15:81');
Your site_url() will be set to localhost:81 and as such will be attempting to access localhost on your device through get_template_directory_uri().
Today I installed v1.9.2 on win7 64-bit server at fixed ip address 192.168.1.99
When I attempt to open the neo4j web admin, using explicit url 192.168.1.99:7474/webadmin/, I get a timeout error. However, when I replace the url with localhost:7474/webadmin/, then I connect without a problem. This is also problematic for my internal webapp as no else can access it without the server url.
Both localhost and 192.168.1.99 worked flawlessly with v1.9.RC2
Can anyone help me resolve this so that I can use the explicit url?
Can anyone recreate this to make sure I am not losing my mind?
Update: I also uncommented the line "org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0" in the neo4j-server.properties file. When commented, the database only listens on localhost (only accept local connections). This had no effect.
Update2: worked on some javascript - found a bug, fixed it, and now the explicit url is working. Not sure if this is a coincidence. Regardless, hope uncommenting "org.neo4j.server.webserver.address=0.0.0.0" in the neo4j-server.properties file helps someone.
Thanks,
Jeff
I doubt this is possible without extensive jail-breaking, but is it at all possible to edit the iPad's (or any iOS device's) hosts file?
The previous answer is correct, but if the effect you are looking for is to redirect HTTP traffic for a domain to another IP there is a way.
Since it technically is not answering your question, I have asked and answered the question here:
How can I redirect HTTP requests made from an iPad?
No, you can't change iPad's host file(without jailbreak), but can workaround.
Here is my scenario:
Mac OS X, with IP 192.168.2.1, running a web app
iPad, the device you would like to test the web app
Charles (for Mac), enables HTTP proxy for your iPad
I am going to test the web app running in my Mac via iPad, but I can't access directly to it.
The solution works for me:
Firstly, make sure that your server and iPad are in the same local network.
Then, set up Charles proxy, in the menu "Proxy > Proxy Settings...", fill in Port(mostly 8888) and toggle Enable transparent HTTP proxying.
Setup proxy setting in iPad.
Now you can visit your web app in iPad.
Of course you can use other proxy tools like Squid or Varnish in Linux, or fiddler in Wondows.
No. Apps can only modify files within the documents directory, within their own sandbox. This is for security, and ease of installing/uninstalling. So you could only do this on a jailbroken device.
The easiest way to do this is to run an iPad simulator using XCode and then add an entry in the hosts file (/etc/hosts) on the host system to point to your test site.
I needed the same functionality, and doing jailbreak is no-no. One solution is to host yourself DNS server (MaraDNS), go to your wifi settings in ipad/phone, and add your custom DNS server there.
The whole process took me only 10 minutes, and it works!
1) Download MaraDNS
2) Run mkSecretTxt.exe as administrator
3) Modify mararc file, mine is:
ipv4_bind_addresses = "put your public IP Here"
timestamp_type = 2
random_seed_file = "secret.txt"
csv2 = {}
csv2["Simple.Example.com."] = "example.configuration"
Add file called "example.configuration" into the same folder where run_maradns.bat is.
4) Edit your example.configuration file:
Simple.Example.com. 10.10.13.13 ~
5) Disable all Firewalls (convenience)
6) Run file "run_maradns.bat"
7) There should be no errors.
8) Add your DNS server to list, as shown here: http://www.iphonehacks.com/2014/08/change-dns-iphone-ipad.html
9) Works!
Yes, you can edit the iPad hosts file, but you need to be jailbroken. Once you've done that, download Cydia (app market), and get iFile. The hosts file is located within "/etc/hosts".
I would imagine you could do it by setting up a transparent proxy, using something like charles and re-direct traffic that way
Workarond I use for development purposes:
Create your own proxy server (One option would be: Squid on Linux).
Set your hosts file with your domains.
Set the proxy server on the IPAD/IPHONE and you can use with your hosts.
I know it's been a while this has been posted, but with iOS 7.1, a few things have changed.
So far, if you are developing an App, you MUST have a valid SSL certificate recognized by Apple, otherwise you will get an error message on you iDevice. No more self-signed certificates. See here a list:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5012
Additionally, if you are here, it means that you are trying to make you iDevice resolve a name (to your https server), on a test or development environment.
Instead of using squid, which is a great application, you could simply run a very basic DNS server like dnsmasq. It will use your hosts file as a first line of name resolution, so, you can basically fool your iDevice there, saying that www.blah.com is 192.168.10.10.
The configuration file is as simple as 3 to 4 lines, and you can even configure its internal DHCP server if you want.
Here is mine:
listen-address=192.168.10.35
domain-needed
bogus-priv
no-dhcp-interface=eth0
local=/localnet/
Of course you have to configure networking on your iDevice to use that DNS (192.168.10.35 in my case), or just start using DHCP from that server anyway, after properly configured.
Additionally, if dnsmasq cannot resolve the name internally, it uses your regular DNS server (like 8.8.8.8) to resolve it for you. VERY simple, elegant, and solved my problems with iDevice App installation in-house.
By the way, solves many name resolution problems with regular macs (OS X) as well.
Now, my rant: bloody Apple. Making a device safe should not include castrating the operating system or the developers.
If you have the freedom to choose the hostname, then you can just add your host to a dynanmic DNS service, like dyndns.org. Then you can rely on the iPad's normal resolution mechanisms to resolve the address.
You can also make use of a proxy server on your iPhone or iPade via mobile internet (3G) by using a iPhone Mobile proxy generator:
http://iphonesettings.net/mobileproxygenerator.php
Just enter the apn of your carrier (with apn username/password if needed) and the proxy server you want to go through and tap Generate
Problem Restated: Bypassing DNS Resolution
The problem the OP is trying to solve is NOT hacking hosts files on iPads per se, but rather bypassing DNS Resolution of a specific published DNS record by creating a static, local IP:name mapping on their device.
Solution:
A better- and more scalable- way is to create the static IP:Name mapping that you'd create in the hosts file on the device and instead create it on the router and then point your DHCP addressed clients to that router as the primary source of DNS resolution as I document (with annotated screen shots) HERE.
Conclusion:
When testing a new site you need to check the display of it on multiple devices to ensure there's no funky display or usability issues. Bypassing DNS checking using static local IP:Name mappings would require each developer to hack the hosts files for each of their devices and then remember to unwind the changes in all their devices after testing.
And were it even possible to hack an iPad's hosts file as the OP enquired about, in many organizations the Developers IT assets will be locked-down and they won't they have administrative permissions to do such tinkering.
Better to make the static mapping to bypass the published DNS record in the router and then you can delete it in one place after testing is completed.
You need access to /private/etc/ so, no. you cant.
Best Answer: Simply add http or https in your browser, the IP address, colon and port number. Example: https://123.23.145.67:80
