0.0.0.0 not accessible in opera browser

[aaa444]

0.0.0.0 pages are not accessible through opera for some reason

sabnzbd+ 0.5.0 alpha 9 on os x has menu bar items that opens pages to ip 0.0.0.0 (e.g. http://0.0.0.0:8080/sabnzbd/connections/) in my default browser, opera.  sabnzbd host is set to 0.0.0.0, but is there a way to set it to something else for the menu bar, like localhost or hostname.local

You cannot use 0.0.0.0 in any web browser.
It just means that SABnzbd will listen to all available interfaces.
Usually this is "localhost" and the IP address of your system.

If the browser and SABnzbd are on the same system, use:
http://localhost:8080/sabnzbd

Opera won't listen on localhost either. This isn't our fault, they just plain won't do it.

You'll probably need to use the ipv6 address http://[::1]:8080/sabnzbd

do you mean 0.0.0.0 shouldn't be used? it works fine in safari/firefox.  if you did mean it shouldn't be used, maybe the link the menubar item opens should be changed to something else?

I think this used to be true, but it works fine now.

Funny: http://0.0.0.0:8080/sabnzbd/ works with my Firefox on Ubuntu. And http://0.0.0.0:8080/ works too. And even ping to 0.0.0.0 works:

I thought 0.0.0.0 meant default route. Maybe it's the difference between 0.0.0.0/0 (default route) and 0.0.0.0/32 ?
