esp-idf rest server limit access to localhost

[rosenrot]

Dear All,

I'm using the Restful HTTP server example and I wanted to know if somehow I could restrict the access to GET and POST to the localhost.

Any idea is welcome.

....why would you want to go through the trouble to spin up an entire server just to query it from the same device? Can you elaborate a bit more on the actual, high-level problem you're trying to solve by querying a server running locally? Asking because this sounds like an X-Y problem to me.
