On some Windows setups, 'localhost' resolves to IPv6 (::1) rather than 127.0.0.1, causing connection failures when pyRevit Routes binds only to the IPv4 loopback address (127.0.0.1:48884). Using the explicit IP address ensures the HTTP client always targets the correct interface. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
REVIT_HOSTfrom"localhost"to"127.0.0.1"inmain.pyWhy
On Windows,
localhostcan resolve to the IPv6 loopback address (::1) depending on the system'shostsfile or DNS resolver configuration. pyRevit Routes binds exclusively to the IPv4 address127.0.0.1:48884, so any client using the hostnamelocalhostthat resolves to::1will fail to connect with a connection refused error.Using the explicit IPv4 address
127.0.0.1ensures the HTTP client always targets the correct interface regardless of the local DNS/hosts configuration.Test plan
