fly execute on localhost fails

Question

I have a simple task that I want to execute on my local concourse instance:

build-frontend.yml

---
platform: linux

image_resource:
  type: docker-image
  source:
    repository: node
    tag: 'latest'

inputs:
- name: client-devops

run:
  path: client-devops/scripts/test

the task is executed:

client-devops daka$ fly -t frontend execute --config build-frontend.yml
executing build 1
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
  0     0    0     0    0     0      0      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:--     0curl: (7) Failed to connect to localhost port 8080: Connection refused
gzip: invalid magic
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
exit status 2

The target is available:

client-devops daka$ fly targets
name          url                         expiry                       
frontend      http://127.0.0.1:8080       Fri, 11 Nov 2016 09:13:55 UTC

Why does it say can't connect to localhost, I can connect to the UI from my browser?

Interesting - I'd suggest using tools like `tcpdump` and `netcat` to work out what's going on with connections to `localhost:8080`. Is it possible Concourse has bound to a different interface? — DeejUK, Nov 10 '16 at 10:07
It was probably an inconsistency in the YAML file, not very clear error message though — David Karlsson, Nov 10 '16 at 10:19

Your external URL cannot be configured as localhost or 127.0.0.1 - it has to be reachable by other machines.
