That's mostly a problem with the fact that the code tries to do a DNS lookup on every hostname it gets, so it will bork when you feed it a bare IP address. I have some code to fix this, haven't come around to committing it anywhere yet though.
Do you have any idea why I'm seeing this behavior? I guess what I'm asking is if there is some difference between the IoT demo and httpd stacks that might prevent ESP8266 from connecting to an IP address directly?
PS: The 192.168.4.1 hosted on the IoT demo example can be accessed from my Ubuntu machine; but the one hosted on the httpd stack can only be accessed from my non-Linux devices.
The IoT http server seems mostly made for quick single-use AJAX calls, so I'm not surprised.
