How can I access http://192.168.0.1:4728/ with ipad safari?
Hi everybody!
I have a problem: i have a local ruby on rails application on my windows 7 desktop that i can access without any problem on my local wifi network. I tested with other windows 7 clients, ubuntu linux firefox clients, chrome etc. I dont have a mac computer though, only iphone and ipad - the latest versions
But i cannot use my iphone's safari or my ipad safari to access the local network site http://192.168.0.1:4728/
When i enter a local network ip and a port - i get an error that safari cannot connect to the server.
This is not a firewall issue, a mistake in the ip or the port of the server and i am not looking for an app that allows me to do remote access like splashtop. All the devices are connected to the same lan, via wifi. I even disabled 3g and allowed only wifi - still cannot read on ios what i can on pc/linux.
This is not a flash problem - the site is just a regular dynamic web site with a database behind it. I am just looking to access a intranet site. This is a dynamic site and i cannot copy it on the ipad because it uses databases etc.
Is ios safari not allowing ports? Intranet/localnet sites?
Should i use a port remapper? (i dont know how to do that) Should i use a proxy server to fool safari that this is a internet site?(how do i do that?). I looked on the net for hours - could not find a straight answer on how to access http://192.168... Or http://10.x.y.z:port/ sites on ios
Thank you very much for your help and time, I really appreciate it.
