Help Safari recognize localhost URLs
Jul 22, '03 10:24:00AM • Contributed by: Anonymous
With personal web sharing enabled, it always had frustrated me that Safari (v85, 10.2.6) was unable to access local URLs of the form http://localhost/.... Mozilla could load those just fine, but I had to resort to using http://mymachine.mydomain.com/... in Safari, which of course would only work when I actually had network access.
It turns out that my proxy settings were interfering with Safari. After adding localhost to the 'Bypass proxy settings for these hosts' box in the Proxies tab of all relevant ports in the Network system prefs, Safari can now load http://localhost/ URLs, with or without network access.
