Interesting. So what does this mean? People are running on localhost?

[sparshgupta → codegeek]

I once (many years ago when I was still learning HTML), coded a website locally and it had a few links to http://localhost/. My apache was set to auto run at system boot and hence the local site was always available to me. I hosted it to internet but for many weeks didn't realize the broken links. It was all good and fast for me. Guess I was not alone

I see a lot of people who try and hyperlink to files on their local machine, like: <img src="C:\website\myface.jpg" />.

These are just the sites that haven't updated to IPv6 yet.
