Use loopback IP addresses in security policy files of httpclient tests

XMLWordPrintable

    • b19

        As part of test stabilization efforts the networking tests were updated to use loopback address as part of https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8222938

        The tests in networking now consistently use loopback address wherever relevant. However, we do have some security policy files within the httpclient tests which use "localhost" instead of explicit loopback IP address. Using "localhost" in the URI also prevents testing with IPv6, as on some configuration "localhost" will resolve to an IPv4 address, even when java.net.preferIPv6Addresses is set.

        This task is to update these security policy files to use loopback IP addresses.
