[issue11812] transient socket failure to connect to 'localhost'

[Jesús Cea Avión]

About the "support.HOST", changing from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" could be problematic is servers without IPv4 support (servers IPv6 only). I guess this is a theorical problem so far, and that when we find this issue the exception would be pretty obvious...

Opinions?.

What about documenting "support.HOST"?
