The precautions related to IP address specification in the in-process HTTP server are as follows:

• When the host name or the IP address is set, only requests for connecting to the specified IP address can be received. Instead of setting the IP address, a connection to any IP address on that host can be received, by specifying the wild card address. By default, the setting is specified to use the wild card address. When using the wild card address, note the following points:
  
  • If the specified host name cannot be resolved in the hosts file or DNS, start the server by using the wild card address.
  • If the specified host name or IP address is a remote host, start the server by using the wild card address.
