Not really much, iirc. But, thinking of it, this shouldn't be fixed. After
all there _is_ a differnce between the URL 'http://127.0.0.1/' and 'http://localhost/'.
Remember, the net location is put into the 'Host' header by all but the most out-
dated and stupid browsers (HTTP/1.1 requires this). So ther first results in an:

 GET / HTTP/1.1
 Host: 127.0.0.1
 ....

the second in:

 GET / HTTP/1.1
 Host: localhost

While this might look arguably silly it _is_ important in cases where the same
host (same IP address, to be more precise) hosts several domains (NamedVirtualServers
in Apache parlance).
