Sample code which shows problem:

Code:

                            connection = null;
                        }
                        if (serverSocket != null) {
                            serverSocket.close();
                            serverSocket = null;
                        }
                        serverThread = null;
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                            midlet.append(e.getMessage());
                        }
                    }
                }
            };
            serverThread.start();
            return true;
        } catch (IOException e) {
            midlet.append(e.getMessage());
            return false;
        } finally {
        }
    }
}

This implements simple http server which is called using devices browser.

http://localhost or http://127.0.0.1 does not work in S40 emulator nor in device ( tried with few asha devices ).
Using HttpConnection in emulator connection is rejected and in device it timeouts. Using devices or emulators real IP connection works.
I also tested this sample in S60 and it worked as it was supposed to.

Question is, is connections to localhost somehow restricted or unsupported?

Hello, for me address 10.0.2.15 works on the S40 emulator that comes with the Nokia SDK 2.0.
I adjusted the address in your code and it worked.
In case you are wondering where I got this IP from: In your code you call

Code:

midlet.append("Server running in: " + serverSocket.getLocalAddress() + ":" +serverSocket.getLocalPort());

This displayed 10.0.2.15 (on S40 and 127.0.0.1 on S60).

To get the hostname if you don't have access to the serverSocket you can use:

Code:

System.getProperty("microedition.hostname")

Like this in your case:

Code:

        try {
            platformRequest("http://" + System.getProperty("microedition.hostname") + ":" + PORT);
        } catch (ConnectionNotFoundException e) {
            append(e.getMessage());
        }

I hope this helped.
