Thanks for your help. I've decided to revert the part that checks for localhost. Changing stuff "behind people's back" can be good if we're sure that it leads to the right results, but if it doesn't always do that, such magic can rather be very confusing. I've uploaded the new release now. Thanks for your assistance! Thijs
