ng serve --disable-host-check no longer works

See original GitHub issue

Versions

CLI: 1.6.7
node: 8.9.4
npm: 5.6.0
typescript: 2.6.2
OS: Debian 9.3

Repro steps

ng serve --host '0.0.0.0' --port 42002 --public-host 'localhost:42002' --disable-host-check
Open http://HostnameOfServer:42002 on a different device

Observed behavior

Request host is not whitelist enabled for this server. Please use the --host command-line flag to whitelist a specific host (recommended) or use --enable_host_checking to disable host checking. See the command-line flags help text for more information.

Desired behavior

Site should load successfully.

Mention any other details that might be useful (optional)

This used to work, but I’m not sure of the version at which it stopped working.

--host '0.0.0.0' is needed while running the CLI in Docker because otherwise it dies with:

getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND '0.0.0.0'
Error: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND '0.0.0.0'
    at errnoException (dns.js:50:10)
    at GetAddrInfoReqWrap.onlookup [as oncomplete] (dns.js:92:26)
