Cannot run edit server on another computer about emacs_chrome HOT 4 OPEN

Yeah I did back of the permissions for the extension a little as they are fairly wide ranging. However technically it's not a hard change to make. The files that currently would need updating are:

• manifest.json - increase permissions for the background page
• xmlcomms.js - where the edit requests are sent
• options.html - add an option for the address

from emacs_chrome.

Hmm, I hadn't looked at manifest.json, but changing the 127.0.0.1 to * didn't fix it for me. I think it was also necessary to edit edit.el since I think by default it restricts itself to localhost.

Sure, I've uploaded a update to the git repo.

(setq edit-server-host "10.0.0.166")

To enable edit-server.el binding to a specific IP rather than localhost. I've defaulted to localhost only binding as opening a port to a public IP has potential security ramifications.

BTW, although the edit server can now bind to a non-local port the permissions in the manifest will stop Chrome from sending it's request beyond localhost. I'm happy to do that if someone provides a patch for optionally configuring a remote address.
