On Dowser v. 0.26 for Mac OS X, the port (5309) is open to the world. This does not respect the choice made on the settings page. I can see no way to restrict this port to the local machine.
0.26 does bind to the world, because I'm not that good a network
programmer. The "Allow remote clients" setting does restrict access from
other machines, however. They are able to connect to the port and
even send the request header, but the webserver cuts them off if their
originating IP is not 127.0.0.1. Not the best way, but it works for now.
