0.0.0.0:8000 working in Firefox, but not in Chrome

Question

I'm trying to use SimpleHTTPServer to debug some ReactJS code, and when I use Firefox, I can see the page fine, but when I browse using Chrome:

http://0.0.0.0:8000

It execute a Google search for that and doesn't actually go to the address.

Any ideas of what is going on here? How can I force Chrome to go to that address instead of doing a search?

@Quentin, but that's the default IP served up by SimpleHTTPServer, not to mention the fact that Firefox renders it fine. Is there no way to view this in Chrome? — Mark Kadlec, Mar 26 '15 at 22:13
It's not the IP, it just means it is listening on all the network interfaces, so you can use any IP the box has. — Quentin, Mar 27 '15 at 09:22
Thanks @Quentin looks like FF and Chrome interpret 0.0.0.0 differently — Mark Kadlec, Mar 27 '15 at 16:39

Is the server running on your PC? You should try http://127.0.0.1:8000 or http://localhost:8000

0.0.0.0 is not a valid IP

Localhost worked fine, I guess FireFox assumes localhost and renders fine, and Chrome defaults to a web search, it's interesting - thanks! – Mark Kadlec Mar 27 '15 at 16:40
