[jira] [Commented] (TS-4640) Create ts_is_localhost() in lib/ts to unify "localhost" comparisons

["Alan M. Carroll (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-4640?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=15605363#comment-15605363 ] 

Alan M. Carroll commented on TS-4640:
-------------------------------------

If it is an address, it should use the existing {{ats_is_ip_loopback}} which works for both IPv4 and IPv6. I suppose we could overload that with {{const char*}} and {{std::string const&}} to do the name / string comparisons.

> ATS currently has multiple places where a comparison of a host is made to localhost. We should create one function that does it and replace all the various implementations with this function.
