Bug 33879 – wget doesn't work when adress is specified as IP (works with domain-adress)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Marcin Kryczek (RETIRED) 2003-11-19 17:10:56 UTC]

wget from 1.9.* series doesn't download files when the adress is specified as 
IP. It just prints 'Aborted' without even try to connect. 
example:
<aye@CogES>~: wget http://127.0.0.1
--16:25:00--  http://127.0.0.1/
           => `index.html'
Aborted

but works with domain:
<aye@CogES>~: wget http://localhost
--16:25:36--  http://localhost/
           => `index.html'
Resolving localhost... 127.0.0.1
Connecting to localhost[127.0.0.1]:80... failed: Connection refused.

i've talked with people on irc and i know that i'm not alone with this problem, 
but noone could help
