           Summary: Enable DumpRenderTree access to URLS that resolve to
                    127.0.0.1
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: youennf at gmail.com


Some W3C tests make request on dynamically computed URLs such as "http://www2."+location.host.
See for instance https://github.com/w3c/web-platform-tests/blob/master/XMLHttpRequest/send-redirect-to-cors.htm

This breaks the underlying test framework.
First, "www2." + location.host cannot be referenced without changing /etc/hosts. Mapping should be set to 127.0.0.1
Second, "www2." + location.host will not be authorized by DumpRenderTrees as it is neither "localhost" nor 127.0.0.1
