I think that is correct. The problem of finding the IP address of the public interface is just another problem. May be I'm wrong, but I believe localhost has a precise definition already, it's not an invitation for us to ponder about the probable interpretations of the separate words local + host. Again, as it says in Wikipedia: "Localhost always translates to the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4, or ::1 in IPv6" Cheers and thanks for your work.
