NS_ERROR_UNKNOWN_HOST ???

I turned on HttpFox for the first time and looked at the log when loading a page in the Manager.

I get this near the beginning:



It doesn’t happen all the time and sometimes it happens in the front end as well. It sucks up some time so I’d like to address it.

Any ideas what this is?

On localhost? I haven’t seen any other evidence of it.

That looks like the culprit all right. Thanks.

Why it would be doing that is beyond me, but it looks harmless enough and I have more important fish to fry.
