Package: iceweasel
Version: 10.0.5esr-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream
Dear Maintainer,
When there's no network connection, Iceweal is unable to connect to localhost
through an alias defined in /etc/hosts. I've also tested upstream 13.0, and it
has the same issue.
I have the following line in my /etc/hosts :
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost test
If I unplug the network and launch iceweal, it cannot connect to http://test/
and says "server not found".
