title: Access localhost on iPad
body: <p>I want to access my web application on iPad for local testing (http://myMachine_Name). But here is the problem;</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>I am having a local copy on my Windows machine with a Weblogic server running and the app server requires a VPN connection</li>
  <li>Is there any way by which I can access <a href="http://myMachine_Name" rel="nofollow">http://myMachine_Name</a> on the iPad , and given that my local machine would be connected to VPN.</li>
  <li>Is there any iPad app which can help in testing..My main purpose is to have the fastest way to test any changes I make on the iPad and that I think would be to directly access <a href="http://myMachine_Name" rel="nofollow">http://myMachine_Name</a> on the iPad Safari. But I do not know how.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p><em>Note: By VPN, I mean it is connected to another network at a remote location. Also the iPad is connected to the internet via a Wifi connection on MAC which is on the same local network as my Windows machine..</em></p>
  
  <p>I think having VPN connectivity on the iPad might be an option, but I'll want to avoid that as that would require paying huge licensing fee.</p>
  
  <p>Please let me know if I need to provide any other clarifications..</p>
  
  <p>Thank you.</p>
