local hostname blacklisted?

[chrwei]

did some tests, go it to request local, but it didn't work, maybe local doesn't do any DNS lookups?.

guess this is a limitation we have to live with. would be nice if it were more specifically documented though.

Correct, webCoRE uses the host name to guess whether to issue a local or remote request. Only requests to localhost or a local network IP range are handled by the hub. Remote requests are done on the ST platform rather than the hub so are not subject to your local DNS setup.

Checking for no dots seems reasonable, feel free to submit a pull request to add that to the webCoRE piston groovy smart app. You can probably grep for 127 or 192 to find where the local IP ranges are tested.

I already tested it and still doesn't work, several seconds later a [] result appears. I also tried the full local hostname and that didn't work either. the other option would be to try to do a hostname lookup and compare the IP, but if hostname didn't work I suspect that's a dead end too.
