Vimperator: Host names are not properly recognized about vimperator-labs

[maxauthority]

A known issue, but I don't know how we can easily fit it. For now use the
workaround of :open localhost/ (not the trailing slash).

When trying to open (via :open or :tabopen for example) a web site from a
'unusual' host name, it does not work correctly in vimperator. With
unusual I mean something like localhost which doesn't look like a
normal domain (it's just the host name without a dot), but names like these
could be defined in /etc/hosts or on a local name server.

In case I try to open localhost in vimperator, it redirects to the
default search engine instead of looking up the address. Using the Firefox
Awesomebar, everything works as expected (localhost is resolved and the
browser tries to connect).
