Cannot access a RUBY file via browser but can access it from command line

I created a file with name server.rb

require 'bundler' ; Bundler.require
get '/hello-world' do
  "Hello World!"
end

when i access it as curl http://localhost:4567 from command line I can easily see Hello World! but when I access via browser as http://172.16.16.14:4567

172.16.16.14 is the ip of the local server and when I hit http://172.16.16.14/ I can see the default page of nginx.

I get 

This site can’t be reached
172.16.16.14 refused to connect.

As mentioned in the comments by @miknik it's quite possible that it has to do with the servers bind option.

Documented on Sintara website: http://sinatrarb.com/configuration.html#bind---server-hostname-or-ip-address

This will allow connections from any host: 

set :bind, '0.0.0.0'

Here's the actual PR for making the default bind address localhost rather than 0.0.0.0 which will allow connections from any host. https://github.com/sinatra/sinatra/pull/634
