Description
Do I need to have my app listen on localhost for it to work with linkerd proxy?
Alternatively, if my app is listening on the pod IP address, can I simply inject the proxy to my pod and expect the app to continue to work (assuming that I do not want to bypass the proxy)?
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the website documentation covering Linkerd proxy injection and whether applications must listen on localhost or may use the pod IP address. Confirm the documented behavior for both cases and update the relevant documentation so the networking requirement is explicit.
