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

>Ok:

    DNS for foo.google.com resolves to 127.0.0.1
    Server on 127.0.0.1:443 serves self-signed certificate for foo.google.com
    User enters https://foo.google.com, browser loads from local server.
    User presumably overrides the certificate error.

I thought the example that you proposed was that the hosts file would be modified ("I can edit a file here and make foo.google.com resolve to 127.0.0.1").  Which file were you editing?  How did DNS enter the picture?  I may have misunderstood your original example.
