Bind expressjs to a specific IP address

Question

How can i bind a expressjs server to a specific IP

Something like

app.listen(8888, '192.168.0.101'); 

Equivalent to nodejs:

http.createServer(onRequest).listen(8888,'192.168.0.101'); 

Answer 1

ExpressJS just passes your parameters down to the http module when you call listen, so your example should work.

Is that not the case?

Answer 2

var server = app.listen(3000, '127.0.0.1',onServerListening); 

In this case I want the server to respond only to connections using the 127.0.0.1 host name. Not 0.0.0.0, and not localhost. Only 127.0.0.1.
