Take a URL to tomcat, as installed out the box on my local system:
http://localhost:8080/index.jsp Browse to it.
instead of seeing the tomcat start page (as on IE), I get a pause, a status line
saying "Sending request to 192.168.1.34", and then eventually the URL in the
browser bar becomes http://192.168.1.34/ and I get a TCP error page. Because
there is no server on http://192.168.1.34/; only on port 80.
Type in the correct path of http://192.168.1.34:8080/ , or even
http://ranier:8080/ and all works, but for some reason http://localhost is
broken, because whatever code handles that cannot deal with the concept of the
web server being anywhere other than port 80.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. install a web server on port 8080
2. dont run anything on port 80
3. try and browse to http://localhost:8080/
Actual Results:
I get a TCP-connect error, because it is trying to browse to
http://my-local-ipaddress/ without any port information
Expected Results:
If you are going to remap localhost to an ipaddr, retain port info. Or just not
bother with going that far down the networking stack and try and open a socket
to localhost.
Do you have a log entry in your server you can post here?

WORKSFORME linux 2003010208. i have a proxy running locally on port 8080, and
http://localhost:8080/ hits the proxy server's error page as expected.
reporter: do you have some sort of personal firewall software on your system?

responds to a GET / HTTP/1.0 with a redir

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".
This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.
While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.
If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
