moin moin,
once in a while I run into a site trying to make JavaScript or XHR
connections to localhost.
What are they doing?
Are they setting up backdoor tunnels on localhost?
Are they trying to run a daemon out of the browser?
Are they trying to escape the sandbox and exfiltrate data?

Are you running a local web server on port tcp/80/443, otherwise why
connection to localhost? You need a server like apache, nginx, or whatever
web server listening on 80/443 for a browser to find a webpage on
localhost, which is your system. Otherwise the browser won't find a socket

The IP address range *127.0.* *0.0 – 127.255.* *255.255* is reserved for
loopback, i.e. a Host's self-address, also known as localhost address. This
loopback IP address is managed entirely by and within the operating system.

Are the addresses for localhost 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1 ? That was a
rhetorical question. What isn't rhetorical is why, when I enter either of
those addresses into a browser , do I get a 'problem with address' page?
Are there
