prudence/mongovision pages don't render in chrome with localhost but do with 127.0.0.1

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install mongovision and start it per instructions.
2. Open google chrome and go to http://localhost:8080/mongovision/
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I expect to see the mongovision web app, instead the page is completely blank 
(even view source returns nothing).

However if I instead go to 
http://127.0.0.1:8080/mongovision

it works fine.

In Safari and Firefox the localhost url works fine.

This is not a general problem but seems specific to Chrome and to 
prudence/mongovision.
I can access other localhost URLs just fine with chrome; for example I have 
apache running on port 80 and the url http://localhost works fine.

On chrome if I try
http://localhost:8080/
(omitting the mongovision/ part)
I get the same problem. This suggests the problem is at the prudence level, not 
specific to the mongovision app.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

mongovision (R159 standard) 
Mac OS X 10.8.2.

Chrome Version 24.0.1312.56
Safari Version 6.0.2 (8536.26.17).
Firefox 177.0
