In a similar vein, '0' is INADDR_ANY, which in connect() usually means the local machine (except Windows?).

So for webapp development, http://0:3333 is about as convenient a URL you can get, except it doesn't work in Chrome

Doesn't the "doesn't work in [some browser]" make it... not convenient?

Is there a problem with localhost:3333 (or whatever)?
