HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://127.0.0.1 refused

This Android app is using (trying to use) the http libraries to post
and retrieve from a web server. Running the app on the emulator
connecting to the Apache server on the same box (localhost) it gives
the Connection refused message:


“HttpHostConnectException: Connection to http://127.0.0.1 refused”


Entering the same URL, to http://127.0.0.1 , into the browser
retrieves the info from the local server no problem. So the web server
is running and the ports are open and stuff like that.

Maybe there is a setting on Andriod needed to allow the connection? It
is somewhere in socket-land this is happening because the web server
never sees the Post (web logs show no activity related to this).

The manifest file has the INTERNET permissions in it

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-
permission>

Does anyone know why the connection to localhost (127.0.0.1) would be
refused from within the Android application?
