Intel XDk Simulate port

[Wolfface73]

Hi;

My local server is on port 8080

when i try the simulator in Intel XDK, it hits port 56890 as such http://localhost:56890/index.html

how can i change this port?

Also, i noticed it uses "GET" method sometimes, when my js specifically uses "POST"

i am using XDK 3491 build.

please help. Thanks in advance.

Moe -- I've asked our Simulate tab expert to take a look.

Moe -- are you trying to make the Simulate tab view web pages on your local server? That is not the intention behind it. Please clarify your intents.

thank you for your help Paul. i really really appreciate it .

so when i am modifying my app using Intel XDK, and i want to test my modifications locally on a local server using the simulator, I am unable to do that because of the port numbers difference. 

it is a hassle to build an APK every time i make a small change, deploy to my phone, install, and test.

Any help would be great. Thank you.

I've asked one of my colleagues to take a look, I'm afraid I'm not understanding the nature of the problem. Do you have a simple sample app you can attach to this thread that would illustrate the issue?

Hi,

I have a couple of questions that could help us to better understand the problem you describe:

- Can you provide a more specific example of what you're trying to do that is not working for you?

- Which are the specific tasks you want to do but it doesn't work?

- Do you have some code snippet to share? It would be even better if you can provide some simple app to reproduce it.

- Are you having CORS issues?

The simulator statically serves the app in order to be accessible in web runtimes such us node-webkit. The simulator server starts in a random port. Do you want to serve the app in your own server?

Thanks!

Thank you for your help.

based on a colleague's advice, I installed JBoss develoepr 8 and simulated my code to both my local server and PROD with a click of a button and without any problems. 

I appreciate your help.
