The same process doesn't work in Safari.  It looks like a feature of
Chrome.  Maybe there's a way in other browsers, but since I use Chrome
anyway I haven't researched it much.  But don't worry, if you don't
want to use Chrome as your browser, the 'webloc' file that Chrome
creates by this process is simply a kind of shortcut that launches your
default browser.  In effect, you are simply using Chrome to create the
shortcut.

In fact, there's a quicker way if you don't want to download and
install Chrome.  The webloc file that is created is simply a plain text
file that contains the following (I guess this is a plist file, so a
plist editor may be the best way to work with it):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN"
"http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";>
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
        <key>URL</key>
        <string>http://localhost:9000/</string>
</dict>
</plist>

Simply create a plain text file with the above text, save it as, eg,
'Squeezebox.webloc' on the desktop and you have your shortcut.  Then
just drag it to the Dock.
