Dear Twitter team, Can you possibly get a developer to go in and delete the code preventing use of localhost? I can't figure out why it's even in there - it seemingly does nothing for security, and just serves to frustrate developers. Any of the millions of sites on the Internet can redirect a user to 127.0.0.1 or localhost. There's nothing evil about it at all. I'm working on a small Twitter tool with a designer who may need to test changes on their machine. I really don't want to have to explain to them how to go and edit /etc/hosts!
