I keep getting: Save Login for http://blabla.xyz?!!

if i say 'never' it just keeps asking.

now your saying. aah. thats cause it cannot differentiate a ipv4 and a hostname.


The gethostbyname() function returns a structure of type hostent for the given host name. Here name is either a hostname or an IPv4 address

i wonder then what this browser does. not remembering by name. here thus the word never is better replaced by -> ask me again next time.

Exceptions only work with an origin (protocol and hostname) and not with a IP address.

Thanks, never heard of it. Is there any RFC where i can look up the definition of 'origin' ?

Origin in this context is the protocol and the hostname like on this forum https://support.mozilla.org (i.e. no path appended).

So Firefox is not honoring Host-Wide DNS resolver (caching) routines and instead have rewritten this already-in-place code with better alternative?!
