Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > There may be lot of reasons why localhost tests will give incorrect
 results.

 From manual for VirtualBox:
 > The network frames sent out by the guest operating system are received
 by VirtualBox’s NAT
 engine, which extracts the TCP/IP data and resends it using the host
 operating system. To an
 application on the host, or to another computer on the same network as the
 host, it looks like
 the data was sent by the VirtualBox application on the host, using an IP
 address belonging to the
 host. VirtualBox listens for replies to the packages sent, and repacks and
 resends them to the
 guest machine on its private network.
