I think that is correct. �The problem of finding the IP address of the public interface is just another problem.May be I'm wrong, but I believe localhost has a precise definition already, it's not an invitation for us to ponder about the probable interpretations of the separate words local + host.
Again, as it says in Wikipedia: "Localhost always translates to the�loopback�IP address�127.0.0.1�in�IPv4, or�::1�in�IPv6"
Cheers and thanks for your work.

Ok, well obviously I need someone to define the problem if the fix was just to return 127.0.0.1 as the result of localhostAddress.
But I *think* someone wants to know what the public interface address is, so they can choose to bind to a particular IF, or publish it somehow.
But maybe I'm wrong..
