Re: [MLUG] Netscape Problem

[Jeremy Hinegardner <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

The really good "feature" of netscape is trying to go to us the 
loopback device and go to localhost, i.e http://localhost/

When you put in http://localhost/ in the URL box it immediately
prepends 'www' and appends 'com'  so you end up going to
http://www.localhost.com/.  Which is some guy at University of Colorado.

I'd like to know how to turn off that feature.  I have localhost in 
my /etc/hosts as 127.0.0.1 (as is should be)  but to use localhost
I have to specifically use 127.0.0.1 in the URL.

Is there some "auto name mangler" turnoff switch?
