resolve "localhost", "host", "hostname" and "host.localdomain" to 127.0.0.1

I would be useful, if Tor would resolve:

  • localhost
  • host
  • hostname
  • host.localdomain

to 127.0.0.1.

For example, webhttrac wants to open http://host:8080/. Why not resolve host to 127.0.0.1? There are also other web interfaces (i2p, yacy, etc.) which may use http://localhost:someport/ etc.

At least Tails and Whonix reached consensus using "host" as hostname (and so forth).

Unless you're seeing any security issues with that, of course.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
