User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20030210

In all other browsers, including Mozilla 1.2.1, I can access http://localhost/.
In  1.3b, I get a popup stating "Document contans no data". If specifying
127.0.0.1 or the actual IP address, it works except for hardcoded references to
localhost.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Type http://localhost/
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Document contains no data.

Expected Results:  
Load same results as for 127.0.0.1 or actual IP address.
dup of bug 189965, or rather the linux variant of it in bug 193267
Resolving as such. Please add comment if this is not fixed in builds from the
19th or later.

I don't know why localhost would trigger this error message, and investigate
further.
