Description:
------------
A Localhost (or 127.0.0.1) connection with fsockopen failed on Vist (see simple code later). As far as i can see, this:
- doesn't work with php 5.2.5, 5.2.1, 5.1.6, 5.0.3 : on Vista
- works with PHP 4.4.8 on Vista, or with any PHP on Windows Server 2003.

This is not the same problem as the getaddrinfo(localhost)->127.0.0.1, wich is a (stupid) security protection from Windows.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$fp = fsockopen('localhost', 80, $errno, $errstr, 30);
if (!$fp) {
    echo "$errstr ($errno)<br />\n";
} else {
    $out = "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: localhost\r\nConnection: Close\r\n\r\n";
    fwrite($fp, $out);
    while (!feof($fp)) {
        echo fgets($fp, 128);
    }
    fclose($fp);
}
?>

Expected result:
----------------
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.4.8
Content-type: text/html

Content<br/>HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 05 Mar 2008 10:46:31 GMT

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  fsockopen(): unable to connect to localhost:80 (A connection attempt failed \
because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or \
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
) in C:\PHP\test.php on line 2

In fact, rebooting Vista, and trying the new PHP, i see the things working with 127.0.0.1. So this is in fact the "localhost" => 127.0.0.1 resolution wich is a problem.

This is due to the fact that Vista added "::1 localhost" in its /etc/hosts file. This make (i don't know why) PHP5 failing on the connection, but php4.4.8 works with this. All of this seems to be an IPV6/IPV4 mess.

Badly configured OS is not a PHP bug -> Bogus.
