--- Comment #1 from Irakli Gozalishvili <contact at gozala.io> ---

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6761 suggests that "localhost" can be treated specially and should hardcode localhost names to the loopback address:

>  "Application software MAY recognize localhost names as special"

and:

>  "Name resolution APIs and libraries SHOULD recognize localhost
>   names as special and SHOULD always return the IP loopback address
>   for address queries and negative responses for all other query
>   types.  Name resolution APIs SHOULD NOT send queries for
>   localhost names to their configured caching DNS server(s).)."


Chrome already support supports / ships this:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=510124

And firefox is working on this:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1220810

It also appears that some of the web platform tests do test for this and were disabled:

Any chance of get Safari to get Safari localhost to loopback address ?
