Changing this would break the existing configuration of everyone who uses the 
default settings, because a request to "http://foo:8080" (where "foo" is not a 
known hostname) would get redirected to "http://localhost:8080".  This redirect 
is only valid if your browser is on the same server that Tomcat is running on.

If you don't want the automatic handling of the default host capability, you can 
turn it off by removing the defaultHost attribute from the <Engine> element.  
Then, Tomcat will return a "bad request" status for unknown hosts.
