Description Dmitrij D. Czarkoff 2011-11-06 13:57:08 UTC 
I have a small home network with transmission server on r2hv also known as r2hv.bedova (with ".bedova" being domain).

When I enter "r2hv" or "r2hv:9091" in URL, I am directed to a search engine. "r2hv.bedova" and "r2hv.bedova:9091" are interpreted as addresses.

On my machine:

[ddc@ao531h ~]$ grep r2hv /etc/hosts 
192.168.1.3     r2hv.bedova             r2hv
[ddc@ao531h ~]$ ping -c 1 r2hv
PING r2hv.bedova (192.168.1.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from r2hv.bedova (192.168.1.3): icmp_req=1 ttl=255 time=0.964 ms

--- r2hv.bedova ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.964/0.964/0.964/0.000 ms

Dan, I'm guessing libsoup should do this for us?
Comment 2 Dan Winship 2012-03-27 10:35:59 UTC 
libsoup would resolve the name if you passed it to libsoup, but iirc, ephy assumes that a single word with no dots is a search query, not a hostname

Yeah, so we just need to ask libsoup first. I'll work on it.

Thanks Diego! This is one of the tiny things that makes me look at Iceweasel at the office every now and then.
