Description

NiFi Registry 1.19.0 included updates to support HTTP/2 through configurable properties. The implementation included a refactored approach to Jetty Server Connector configuration. The default nifi-registry.properties has an empty value for nifi.registry.web.http.host, which the Jetty Server Connector handles as defaulting to listen on the localhost address.

Prior to this refactoring, the NiFi Registry configuration did not set the Server Connector host property when it was empty, which allowed the default behavior of listening on all interfaces.

It is possible to work this problem using 0.0.0.0 as the value of the host property, but the behavior should be changed to match the historical implementation.
