Description
Server side loads the IP address to bind the socket to from environment variable
HOST
, but client side expects the API to always be on localhost. This generally works, but when you have IPv6 capable server and trying to bind to IPv4 port (e.g. HOST=127.0.0.1), this does not work as client side has hardcodedlocalhost
instead of usingprocess.env.HOST
. As IPv6 takes priority over v4, localhost resolves to ::1 resulting in internal server error.This fix replaces all occurrences of api calls from localhost:PORT to HOST:PORT.
