Can't access server over local network

When I launch a server via sirv-cli, I can’t access that server from another computer on the local network. I put together this reproduction repo so you can see how this issue doesn’t occur with two other libraries.

I tried it with -c and --cors but that didn’t fix it. If I manually set the local ip address via -H that does fix it.

I like how both of you interpret my ~! 😆

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it and I think it would be better to show a --host message in the absence of the flag. @mhkeller If you open that PR for readme and/or the hint, I’ll fiddle with the styling.

Thanks!

FWIW I think @mhkeller makes a good point about people consuming sirv indirectly — it’s not clear from this…

…that there’s a package called ‘sirv’ involved, so people might not know where to look. Given that similar packages do expose the server to the network, I can definitely see how it could be a source of confusion. Perhaps as an alternative/addition to this…

Your application is ready!~

- Local: http://localhost:8080
- Network: use `--host` to expose to the network

…it’d be worth pointing people to the project directly:

Your application is ready!~

- Local: http://localhost:8080
