Previously 0.0.0.0 was used, but that _can_ refer to the local machine and was causing problems when the test was run on a machine that had something (e.g. Apache, etc.) listening on 0.0.0.0:80. Fixes meteor/meteor#7038
http
HTTP provides an HTTP request API on the client and server. To use
these functions, add the HTTP package to your project with $ meteor add http.
See the HTTP section in the Meteor docs for more details.
Direct access to npm request API
On the server, the http package is implemented using the
npm request module. If you'd like
direct access to this module, you can find it at
HTTPInternals.NpmModules.request.module. Its version can be read at
HTTPInternals.NpmModules.request.version.
Additionally, you can override any request option when using HTTP.call (or
HTTP.get, etc) by including a npmRequestOptions option.
The version of request used may change incompatibly from version to version of
Meteor (or we may even replace it with an entirely different implementation);
use at your own risk.
