I've got a small C# console app to work as a webserver. It responds well on the NAT with devices in the same network, but when I try to access it in a browser from the external IP i get a 400.
The router is configured to port forward, otherwise I get a 404.
localhost:8888/test works fine. also 192.168.0.x:8888/test for any device.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:8888/test fails with HTTP Error 400. The request hostname is invalid.
Any suggestions?
