'HTTP server in Android emulator not accessible from host
On my Android emulator device I have deployed HTTP server on port 8080
> adb -s 127.0.0.1 shell
generic_x86:/ $ netstat -atn
Active Internet connections (established and servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN
tcp6 0 0 ::ffff:10.0.2.16:47344 ::ffff:66.102.1.18:5228 ESTABLISHED
However, when I try to access it from the host the port seems to closed:
curl http://127.0.0.1:8080
curl : Unable to connect to the remote server
In my host Resource Manager I am not seeing any process listening on that port
Why is the port not visible on host?

quit
And voila, HTTP server has become available on my host machine. Now,
