Is it possible to use an IP address as the base of a URL for an API resource

We have a locally hosted API. When we try to use this API as a resource in an app with the IP address as the base we receive an error 'Only absolute urls are supported' Is it possible to use an IP address as the base of an API in an app resource or in a resource connection?

Hi @Lee! I see this was discussed internally :slightly_smiling_face: Did you go the route of making the API fully qualified?
