Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I was testing virtual hosts locally in Apache and set up a host that
responds
with a different site depending on the host name it recieves.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I tried loading <https://host0.localhost/> in the Web browser.
* What was the outcome of this action?
My machine quiried my ISP's name server and returned an advertizement
page.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
My machine should have returned the loopback address without querying my
ISP's
name server, then loaded the website from my local machine as specified
by
RFC6761:
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761>
6.3. Domain Name Reservation Considerations for "localhost."
The domain "localhost." and any names falling within
".localhost."
are special in the following ways:
3. Name resolution APIs and libraries SHOULD recognize
localhost
names as special and SHOULD always return the IP
loopback
address
for address queries and negative responses for all other
query
types. Name resolution APIs SHOULD NOT send queries for
localhost names to their configured caching DNS
server(s).
