Invalid response from forwarded server

[codeinabox]

I was trying this out by spinning up a local server using python3 -m http.server 8004, and then running docker run -it --rm --network=host -v tunwg_keys:/data ghcr.io/ntnj/tunwg tunwg --forward=http://localhost:8004.

When I try visiting the URL returned by tunwg, I get the error Invalid response from forwarded server. Looking at the Python logs there was no HTTP request, and the tunwg logs say:

2023/10/09 11:25:19 http: proxy error: dial tcp [::1]:8004: connect: connection refused

Same.

Is a server running on your localhost?
The error message is indicating trouble with connecting to the local server.

Maybe try forwarding to --forward=http://host.docker.internal:8004 and not using --network=host.

I was running it on the server that you provided actually.

If you're getting the error: Invalid response from forwarded server, it means that request was successfully forwarded from tunwg server to tunwg client, but instead the issue is with the local server you're trying to forward to, for e.g. which was started with python3 -m http.server 8004
