Description jhoffman 2001-10-26 17:20:59 UTC 
We would like to increase the chances that execution of a web app on the
developer's machine will work "out of the box" without issues related to the
IDE's proxy server settings.

One approach to alleviate proxy issues when executing a web app is to use 
the default URL of http://127.0.0.1 instead of http://<machine-name>

Provide an option under JSP & Servlets area to allow the user to set the
execute URL to <machine name>, 127.0.0.1 or the term "localhost".

See related bug:
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=13702
regarding the ability to set nonProxyHosts within the IDE.
Comment 1 Jan Chalupa 2001-11-27 17:36:57 UTC 
Target milestone -> 3.3.1.
Comment 2 _ rkubacki 2001-11-28 13:51:58 UTC 
Do you mean a property in Tools | Options | Exec & Debugging | JSP &
Servlet? This can be confusing with newly developed Tomcat40 plugin
where you can define more <host> elements in your server.xml and it is
expected that when you deploy (execute) an application it will be
shown using this host name.

According to this it would be better to raise priority of #13702 and
close this issue but I am not sure
Comment 3 _ rkubacki 2002-04-11 16:57:43 UTC 
http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=21408 is entered to
change URLs generated in extbrowser. As stated above the execution of
web app uses URLs provided by plugins and Tomcat generates host name
from content of server.xml file. The is a requirement because without
this you won't be able to test virtual host configuration.

Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> verify.
