redirecting to localhost or 127.0.0.1

[Serge Bourgeois]

I tought that localhost and 127.0.0.1 were equivalent, but it looks not. I 'd like to understand the difference.

After auth authentification in a CAS, the system redirects correcty to localhost:8000/myapp/default/index.
Now, in a controller action, if I redirect again, for instance to 127.0.0.1:8000/myapp/myactionfile/myaction, then auth.user.id seems to be lost. And if myactionfile/myaction is decorated with @auth.requires_login(), the user has to identify again....

Thanks for any clarification on this subject.

The URL host name is part of request.client, which is used as the prefix for the session ID -- so switching from localhost to 127.0.0.1 causes a new session ID (and therefore session file) to be created.
