... you haven't worked on Linux or Windows networking stacks. On Linux, typing http://[::ffff:7f00:1]/ http://[::ffff:7f00:1]/ when you have a bound server on 127.0.0.1 will automatically connect to 127.0.0.1. Conversely, it's a illegal operation in Windows: you cannot legally bind even with SYSTEM privileges.
