Bug#352703: epiphany-browser: ZeroConf/MDNS discovered "local sites" should use host-name

[Erich Schubert]

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.8.3-4
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Hi,
ZeroConf/MDNS websites are currently always accessed via
  http://ip.ip.ip.ip/path
this obviously doesn't work too well with Virtual Hosts. Therefore,
Epiphany should access them using the supplied hostname (at least as
long as the name resolves properly)

I'm using zeroconf to announce important local websites; they resolve
globally, but some of them are virtual hosts.
