BindIP property


Determines local interface address that is listening.

Type

String

Syntax

  • Basic
object.BindIP [= value]
The BindIP(object,value) syntax has these parts:
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type wodWebServer
valueA String value.

Remarks

If you don't want your wodWebServer to be publicly accessible (during testing or implementation, for instance) you can make it use only one of your networks interfaces. For instance, if you have local network on IP address 192.168.1.1, and one interface is connected to internet with IP 100.101.102.103, you can make only user's from your local network access WEB server by setting
 
wodWebServer1.BindIP = "192.168.1.1"
 

As a result, connections from Internet will be denied (by your OS, not application) and furthermore you will be allowed to run some other WEB server on same port - on different interface.

If you want your server to be accessible only from your computer, set it up like this:
 
wodWebServer1.BindIP = "127.0.0.1"
 

To make Web server bind to all interfaces, just leave this property empty.
