Thank you Karl for taking the time to reply.

I'm playing with dump1090 which is working better than I had expected. 
The start command is:

dump1090-mutability --interactive --net --net-http-port 8080

Entering "localhost:8080" results in "connection refused".

Maybe a difference between dump1090 and dump1090- mutability could be 
the problem.

I'm almost certain that in years gone by entering "localhost" into a 
browser didn't result in a "connection refused" message, but of course I 
could be mistaken.
