Creative Cloud triggers regular POST requests to localhost:80/ingest

[dipth]

While debugging some production code for our website locally, I noticed that Creative Cloud seems to trigger regular POST requests to /ingest on localhost:80

```

192.168.247.1 - - [05/Mar/2024:10:41:48 +0000] "POST /ingest HTTP/1.1" 406 14 "-" "Creative Cloud"
192.168.247.1 - - [05/Mar/2024:10:42:11 +0000] "POST /ingest HTTP/1.1" 406 14 "-" "Creative Cloud"

192.168.247.1 - - [05/Mar/2024:10:49:39 +0000] "POST /ingest HTTP/1.1" 406 14 "-" "Creative Cloud"

```

I don't know what the purpose of these requests are, but they seem incorrect to me as nothing was running on port 80 on my machine until setting up nginx.

Mac OS 14.2.1 (23C71)

there's probably a file trying to sync.

[dipth]

I don't see why a file trying to sync should cause a POST request to localhost port 80.

Normally nothing runs on port 80 unless you specifically set it up, as this port is reserved for web-servers.

This means that this request is destined to always just keep failing.

It seems to me that this request is intended to be sent to another port or maybe even another host altogether.

[kglad]

you can check background processes, if you don't think it's a file.

What exactly should I be looking for?

Here is a list of all Adobe related services running:

Hi @dipth, I hope you're doing well.

Sorry to hear that you are facing this issue.

As you guessed it, the /ingest requests from Adobe products are originally addressed to cc-api-data.adobe.io:443.

If the issue still persists, it would be good to rule out the possibility of any host redirection rule in your environment, that redirects these requests to localhost:80.

Would you mind checking a few things in that regard?

1. When you visit https://cc-api-data.adobe.io/ on your browser, do you see it being redirected to localhost?

2. If yes, please check for any unintended host redirection rules in, say, /etc/hosts or in your ngix configuration files.

Thanks,

Lakshmanan

[dipth]

I see what's going on now.

I'm using AdGuard on my network which by default causes all requests to `cc-api-data.adobe.io` being blocked via a DNS-filter.

```

host cc-api-data.adobe.io
cc-api-data.adobe.io has address 0.0.0.0
cc-api-data.adobe.io has IPv6 address ::

```

Hi @dipth, Glad you were able to find the cause.

I presume you can make exceptions for adobe endpoints and that this thread can be considered resolved.

Kindly let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

Thanks,

Lakshmanan
