On Windows 7 I open IE 8 and browse to localhost:80 and something is changing it to localhost.
Why is this happening?
The same happens if i browse to 127.0.0.1:80 it changes to 127.0.0.1 (without the port).
I am trying to use fiddler to browse locally i.e. via http://localhost./80 and it is not working
thanks
http://localhost:80 and http://localhost both are equal (and home). So don’t worry 🙂
(Port 80 is the default http port)
