"localhost" is the default Domain name of the local machine. It maps to IP
Address "127.0.0.1" (local loopback). Therefore, on any machine which uses
"localhost" in a URL, a redirect will always go to their local web server
(if any) or throw an exception. For this reason, you should NEVER use the
string "localhost" in your app, unless you plan to run it only locally.
