Document default `host` for `app.listen()`?
Hi, first of all, thanks so much for Express and the ecosystem, very foundational project! 🙌
Just wanted to ask whether the Express team would be open to maintaining a sentence in the docs about what the default values are for host
when using app.listen()
with only a port. Currently, in the Express 4 and 5 docs, only the behavior of an omitted port
argument is documented - the behavior when omitting the host
is not mentioned:
Maybe something similar to the Express 2.0 docs (maybe also with a disambiguation of INADDR_ANY
):
When host is omitted all connections will be accepted via
INADDR_ANY
.
https://expressjs.com/2x/guide.html#:~:text=When%20host%20is%20omitted%20all%20connections%20will%20be%20accepted%20via%20INADDR_ANY.
I guess this issue contains one of the closest descriptions of the behavior here:
