WinAppDriver fails to create new session on Surface. Got 404 error.

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I have installed WinAppDriver on a brand-new Surface.

If I run the driver with localhost and run a remote selenium client then /session fails on 404 error. If I run the driver with ip address and run a remote selenium client then /session succeed.

Looks like driver checks IP Address from client request to what was passed to driver from command line. It is very strange behavior.

The fact that it requires admin privileges to bind to non localhost suggests that driver might be using http.sys. It seems that it is possible to specify IP address as *. In that case driver will listen both on localhost and external ip address of you host machine. I’ve tried it locally and from the same machine I was able to get response both to http://localhost:5000/status and http://10.211.55.6:5000/status (IP option was set to *, port option was set to 5000).

By default we don’t want to bind to external-facing network interfaces for security reasons. It’s by design that we’re not remotely accessible.
