143730 - http://localhost:901 doesnot seem to work

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: Networking: HTTP, defect)

Description

[Avrum Birnbaum]

http://localhost:901 returned unable to connect.
KONQUEROR was fine when I entered http://localhost:901 so I dont think my system
is set up wrong. (I checked /etc/hosts and it looked fine)
http://127.0.0.1:901 worked fine as well and I could access swat from a
different machine.
I didnot check the normal http port as there is nothing responding on it but I
plan to work on theat in the near future.

I am using Mozilla 5.0 0.9.8 build 2002032519 one susse linux 8.0

Thanks

Abe Birnbaum

WFM with trunk 2002073022, linux. reporter (Avrum Birnbaum): can you reproduce
this bug with a recent build of mozilla (for example, 1.1beta)? if so, please
comment again with details. if not, please resolve this bug as WORKSFORME. thanks.

WFM Linux 2002081308 - Marking as such since the reporter hasn't responded and
there are multiple WFM comments.

Reporter: if you disagree with this resolution, feel free to reopen this bug.
Thanks for helping with mozilla.

Verified WFM.

netstat -an would have displayed the exact sockets that the server listens to.

There have been reports that localhost is hardcoded and is not always going to
127.0.0.1

If you are using IPv6, this might also become more complicated.
