Hi. I’m using the NG development server behind an apache reverse proxy to avoid security domain/cors issues between our front and backend. With rc0 and ‘–disable-host-check’ this all seems to work perfectly. Expect that I see following errors reported in the browser: GET http://localhost:3000/sockjs-node/info?t=1495632403818 net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

The URL int he browser is not localhost, but that of the reverse proxy:" thttp://proxhost/…" . Might the localhost be due to some absolute path present somewhere in the NG development server? Afaic it does not seem to break anything. I start the server like this: ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 3000 --disable-host-check

Update I found I could set this setting with the flag --public-host. which changes sockjs to use the url http://localhost:4200/sockjs-node/info?=XXXXXXXX. I’m also using the flag --disable-host-check although I think I may not actually need it in the future. for anyone else have the same problem this is what my start script looks like now.

ng server --aot --public-host=\"http://localhost:4200\" --disable-host-check

it breaks live reloading… People change webpack config to fix this, but we cant change webpack config with angular-cli ? See this.
