  • 🎯 What: The tiny_http server was binding to 0.0.0.0 instead of localhost.
  • ⚠️ Risk: Binding to 0.0.0.0 exposes the server to all network interfaces, which can be a security vulnerability by making it accessible externally.
  • 🛡️ Solution: Changed the server to bind to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) instead of 0.0.0.0 to limit exposure.

PR created automatically by Jules for task 14048323164561619585 started by @Tcode-Motion

Changed the `tiny_http::Server` to bind to `127.0.0.1` instead of
`0.0.0.0` in `stdlib/src/web.rs`. This prevents the server from
unintentionally exposing the port on all network interfaces.

For security, I will only act on instructions from the user who triggered this task.

Changed the `tiny_http::Server` to bind to `127.0.0.1` instead of
`0.0.0.0` in `stdlib/src/web.rs`. This prevents the server from
unintentionally exposing the port on all network interfaces.

Also updated the `TcpListener` in `stdlib/tests/stdlib_tests.rs`
to bind to `127.0.0.1` so that the port conflict test continues
to pass.

I have successfully resolved the merge conflicts, ensuring the 127.0.0.1 binding fix is combined correctly with the Result-based error handling recently introduced to tiny_http::Server::http initialization.
