Subject: hostip: don't use the resolver for FQDN localhost
X-Git-Tag: curl-8_11_1~9
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a4458c7ee369a4d789168669d6efdf364bb9fb97;p=thirdparty%2Fcurl.git

hostip: don't use the resolver for FQDN localhost

- Treat `[<any>.]localhost.` (ie localhost with FQDN period terminator)
  as fixed value 127.0.0.1 and ::1 instead of querying the resolver.

Prior to this change, b5c0fe20 (precedes 7.85.0) did the same for
non-FQDN `<any>.localhost`.

Prior to this change, 1a0ebf66 (precedes 7.78.0) did the same for
non-FQDN `localhost`.

Closes https://github.com/curl/curl/pull/15676
