  • While I agree, it makes connecting to localhost as easy as http://0:8080/ (for port 8080, but omit for port 80).

    I worry that changing this will cause more CVEs like the octal IP addresses incident.

    Edit: looks like it’s only being blocked for outgoing requests from websites, which seems like it’ll have a much more reasonable impact.

    Edit 2: skimming through these PRs, at least for WebKit, I don’t see tests for shorthand IPs like 0 (and no Apple device to test with). What are the chances they missed those…?














  • I don’t know if people have just gotten meaner over time or if that is how it has always been, but there are a lot of people who are very unpleasant to interact with, both on and off the internet. It can be stressful trying to interact with new people because it’s a dice roll on whether they’re friendly or condescending.

    Anyway, just my observation. I don’t know if that has anything to do with social media, but it wouldn’t surprise me I guess.
