What does 'go version' print?
go version go1.2.1 linux/amd64
go version go1.3beta2 +77632b0a1c94 Sun May 25 08:38:59 2014 +1000 linux/amd64

go.tools/cmd/present$ hg identify 
b6a3b105fbb0 tip

What steps reproduce the problem?
If possible, include a link to a program on play.golang.org.

1. Start present in go.talks with no command line options.
2. Attempt to play a snippet.

What happened?

Nothing in play window. Log output:
2014/05/26 13:57:16 bad websocket origin: http://localhost:3999

What should have happened instead?

No log output and a successfully played snippet.

Please provide any additional information below.

This is worked around by changing the -http parameter to "localhost:3999". The
issue was introduced with bda3619e7a2c which makes a naive comparison of host rather
than a comparison of destination IP or other.

Comment 2:

Another workaround is that the present tool could issue an HTTP redirect to point the
browser at the address given on the command line.
This does break -http=:3999, but maybe it should be broken? Ie, maybe you should have to
explicitly name the host on which you want to expose an arbitrary code execuction vector?

Comment 3:

Breaking -http=:3999 (or equivalent - it could be made explicit with -http=0.0.0.0:3999)
would make me very sad, particularly given the opportunities the NaCl support offers in
a teaching environment - the motivation for my NaCl support CLs was use of present in
workshops and tutorials.

Comment 4:

I'd personally prefer to add "-origin" flag to go.tools/cmd/present for letting the
program know what's the origin of RFC 6454.

Comment 5:

Is that in addition or instead. If instead, it still leaves the issue of dealing with
the logic of sorting out who to trust.

Comment 6:

As an additional option. Without that option present runs strictly. With that option
present runs on the target network environment with a bit flexible namespace, DNS
name/literal IP address - web origin, mapping.

Re #3: you could still listen on your public interface, you would just need to specify
the address of that interface explicitly on the command line.

adg, I don't think I have enough of a handle on what you want to do to deal with this (I
feel like I'm cooking in someone else's kitchen here), so I think I'll pass, but leave
CL98570044 up unless your think it should be abandoned.

Comment 12:

Dan, I want to make this usable, but it also needs to be secure.
I think specifying the IP of the public interface on the command line is not such an
onerous task. However if it is indeed too hard, we could add a -public bool flag that
just listens on the first available public IP address and prints that address to the
console.
Would that solve your problem?

I am happy to provide a public interface IP. I was having confounding problems testing
mikio's proposal, but having got around that I see how this works now. Thanks.
