Description Gerald Butler 2009-10-08 13:52:22 UTC 
On 2.27.92 "Webkit" version on Ubuntu Linux 9.10 (Alpha 6 - w/ updates through Oct 7, 2009).

If I type the following URL: "http://localhost:8180", I receive the following error:

Unable to load page
Problem occurred while loading the URL http://localhost:8180/
Cannot connect to destination

However, if I type, "http://127.0.0.1:8180" everything works find.

I've verified it is not a problem with my DNS set-up or anything like that (NOTE: Firefox works fine with both 'localhost' and '127.0.0.1' - ping works fine, etc)

I am now runnint 2.28.1 Epiphany Webkit from the PPA for Ubuntu 9.10. I still have this issue. Before, I was on version 2.27.92. Isn't 2.28.xx "the next version"?

I don't think this issue is resolved yet.
