I'm sure it works.  But I wanted to note that "localhost" is somewhat
ambigious.  It may include ::1


 ipv6-pppoe-1:~# grep localhost /etc/hosts
 127.0.0.1       localhost
 ::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback

 ipv6-pppoe-1:~# host localhost
 localhost has address 127.0.0.1
 localhost has IPv6 address ::1


You'd better test 127.0.0.1:1234 explicitly if that's what you want.
