fsockopen to localhost

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. just execute fsockopen('localhost', 8080, $errno, $errstr);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected to get a resource type. Instead, it just pause at this line, and waits 
until timeout.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
mangoose-3.0 with php-5.2.17 on windows 7 (64bit)

Please provide any additional information below.
fsockopen("php.net",22,$errno,$errstr,10); 
works as expected. It only happens when you try to connec to localhost.

well believe or not I have spent more than 6 hours on this issue. Tested the 
same code on my linux box with apache, had no any issue. Thought this hast to 
do with mongoose. But right after I submit the issue, I found someone else had 
issue with fsockopen on vista box. 

the fix was ridiculously easy. in the hosts file uncomment the line "127.0.0.1  
     localhost". it works flawlessly now. 

thanks and hope this may help some others.
