Comment(by manuq):

 Installed firefox and checked that it can resolve 'localhost' while
 Wikipedia fails to do it, so it might be a webkit issue.

 Also tested the following testcase from
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Networking/NameResolution .  It
 can resolve localhost when Wikipedia fails to do it too:

 {{{
 >>> from socket import *
 >>> for item in getaddrinfo("localhost", "http", AF_UNSPEC, SOCK_STREAM,
 SOL_TCP, AI_PASSIVE):
 ...     print item
 ...
 (2, 1, 6, '', ('127.0.0.1', 80))
 }}}
