Wrong localhost with url-retrieve backend on MacOS

[Pitometsu]

Example:

(request (format "http://localhost:%d%s" 8081 "/pnig") :sync t :parser 'buffer-string :timeout 2)

does not work, but 0.0.0.0 - does.

@tkf any updates here?

Hi, I will not be able to fix this eaisly myself but if you have found a fix then I would appreciate a PR so that I can merge it and make it available to everyone.

I'm afraid hostname translation is not in request.el's bailiwick. Sorry.

(request "http://localhost:80" :sync t :parser 'buffer-string :timeout 2) did work for me on my Linux box.
