If this was where the problem was then you would not be able to access
any files on the localhost:8080 server.
The code does not do what you think, it actually does this:
1) Check for URLs like http://foo:80/ and change the host from
'foo:80' to 'foo'. Also ftp://foo:21/ is done the same.
2) Replace the hostname with the canonical localhost name if the
hostname matches one of the hostnames in the LocalHost section of
the config file.
This has nothing to do with the checking of the hostname that is
performed in wwwoffles.c that your serach engine is not triggering.
I recommend that you run 'wwwoffled -d 6 -c wwwoffle.conf' and see
what the search engine is really requesting.
