Test suite fails on my computer

[walseb]

On my computer, running runClient with the hostname "localhost" causes any connection attempts to fail.

Changing it to "127.0.0.1" fixes the issue, and allows all the tests to run perfectly.

Should I submit a PR, changing all instances of localhost to "127.0.0.1"?

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Hello. I'm not activelly maintaining this project at the moment, but if you could submit a PR I'd happily review. It might be worth first investigating what exactly the issue is here. Why would "localhost" fail in the first place?

May I ask what version of GHC you're using and if you're building with stack?

I was building it with Cabal and using GHC 9.8 I believe. Running ping localhost in bash works fine strangely.

I'm not sure what the cause is. I'm not using this package at the moment.

I suppose it's good to keep this issue up in case someone else runs into it and wants to investigate.

Anyways, thanks for making this package!
