2008-12-03 03:58:16 Patrick Kilgore gnome-control-center: statusexplanation Confirmed. I'm going to forward it upstream to gnome as well. Triaged and sent upstream, thanks for taking the time to help make Ubuntu better! Just in case, I'm marking this as a possible security vulnerability. I feel like sending a localhost connection you think is going through a loopback interface through a proxy might be a bad idea from a security perspective, but my knowledge on networking security like this is very minimal feel free to correct me if I am being overzealous.
2008-12-05 01:13:06 Fred description In the Ignored Host List, there are localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, and *.local. It includes the loopback IP address for IPv4, but does not include it for IPv6. It should add ::1 (i.e., 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1) which is the IPv6 address form. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Localhost Also, it does include the .localhost TLD which is a reserved top-level domain defined in RFC 2606. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.localhost In the Ignored Host List, there are localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, and *.local.
