Editing Connect To A Docker Container Hosted Web App From LAN

== Scenario ==

Developing a web app locally, and hosting that app in a Docker container. 

This app can be accessed on the local machine with http://localhost

The goal is to access the local web app on another device on the same LAN as the development server, e.g. a phone or tablet.

== Troubleshooting ==

=== ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED ===

Loading the site using http://192.168.1.100 (or whatever the IP of the development server might be on the LAN) results in `ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED`.

Running 

<syntaxhighlight>
$ curl http://192.168.1.100
</syntaxhighlight>

Results in a 301 error response. 

=== Fix ===

Check rules in the site's `.htaccess` file, where http requests may be forced into https requests. Allow the LAN IP to make http requests.
