Ben Speakmon commented on VALIDATOR-248:
----------------------------------------
The only reason I can think of for making it an option is if you want to make
sure something *didn't* come from localhost. So, if anything, the option should
be to turn off localhost matching and to accept it as the default.
Same patch as before, except:
if (!DISALLOW_LOCALHOST && isLocalhost(domain)) {
return true;
}
> Add an option to allow 'localhost' as a valid hostname part in the URL

> Working on Grails we've discovered
> (http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRAILS-1692) that commons-validator's
> UrlValidator rejects URLs like "http://localhost:8080/tau_gwi_00/clif/cb/19";.
> I looked at commons-validator sources and found that any URL which contains
> 'localhost' as it's hostname part will be rejected.
> RFC-2396 (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) accepts 'localhost' as a valid
> hostname (appendix G.3 paragraph 2 says that explicitly).
> So, it would be good to have additional option (UrlValidator.ALLOW_LOCALHOST)
> which will control UrlValidator behavior on localhost URLs.
