The only problem would be if the user actually intended "localhost" to mean
his real local host (127.0.0.1) perhaps to point to some service that is
actually running on his client machine.
A work around would be to document that if the user entered "localhost" then
you will remap it... and if they really intended localhost then to enter the
IP address "127.0.0.1" instead of the text "localhost".
But a better way may be to use the convention of a single dot meaning that
what follows is relative to the current directory. So if I enter
http://./bla.bla
then the first "." would be replaced with the HTTP_HOST. In my specific
case I want to get to... http://.:8088/asterisk/static/config/index.html
which would make a good test case for you as it has a dot (meaning the host
I am connected to) a colon then port number then directory path. If this
were parsed out to substitute the current host for the dot then it should
work.
Thanks
