14246 - Valid url with http 200 return code redirects to localhost

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 12748

(Core :: Networking, defect, P3)

Description

[tor]

The URL listed (which is the redirect you get from www.handspring.com)
is valid and returns a page without redirection from telnet and netscape.
mozilla instead redirects to localhost, but the URL bar still gives the
original IP.  This happens with both apprunner and viewer.  This is on
a 9/17 evening CVS pull.

This is the IP bug. The Lookup always returns ok and IPs are not really
resolved. It maps to localhost. A fix exists, but is currently not in the tree,
waiting for review ... see the attachement ...
