How to access a web application running on .NET Aspire dcp?

[paulomorgado]

I need an Aspire application running on one laptop to access a web resource running on Aspire on another laptop.

Is that possible?

Is Dev Proxy the only way?

See #9085 - hopefully fixed in 9.4.

Or is it just an issue with the endpoint to URL logic in that it's not honoring TargetHost?

[DamianEdwards]

@danegsta it looks like that AllocatedEndpoint.Address is still "localhost" when Endpoint.TargetHost is something like "0.0.0.0", so is the intent that I need to look at AllocatedEndpoint.BindingMode and if it's not SingleAddress, create a URL by combining parts of Endpoint and AllocatedEndpoint (substituting Environment.MachineName for "0.0.0.0")? Doing that gets me to something like this:

Maybe we can add an additional hosts?

[danegsta]

Yeah, current design still sets localhost for AllocatedEndpoint.Address. If a specific address like 127.168.0.2 was used, you'd get that instead of localhost; my main concern was complicating service discovery with duplicate allocated addresses. The idea was that the BindingMode enum can be used to augment the displayed URLs without duplicating the addresses for service discovery.
