Re: [webauthn] Clarify 127.0.0.1 in spec (#1204)

> does Chrome try to resolve localhost using DNS?

I believe that localhost will be resolved the same as any other name, although I'm not completely sure about that. But certainly if the rule is “all domain names that resolve to 127.0.0.1” then DNS would be involved. If “resolve” doesn't mean normal name resolution, then what did you have in mind?

Origins on 127.0.0.1 cannot use Webauthn in Chrome. (The origin https://localhost can, however.)
