Error accessing Rabbit MQ UI on macos installed via homebrew

Question

I installed Rabbit MQ on my local machine running OS X via:

brew install rabbitmq

and I start and stop the server via:

brew services start/stop rabbitmq

I installed the plugin for the web UI via:

rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management

I expected to view the web UI in the browser at:

http://localhost:15672/

It does not load. The error reported is a 431 which means request header fields are too large. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/431

Answer 1

There appears to be a bug in Chrome on OS X (https://github.com/rabbitmq/rabbitmq-management/issues/410#issuecomment-307145632).

The web UI loads at http://0.0.0.0:15672/ but not localhost.

I also confirmed localhost worked on Safari and Firefox.
