Well! these were good suggestions: host localhost returned:

localhost.home has address 127.0.0.1
Host localhost.home not found: 4(NOTIMP)

So, my orange box to the Internet add  .home as domain and I have to enter

http://localhost.home:901

if I want to connect to swat. This was not the behaviour before (before
I install f14 and FF 3.6.18)!

What remains a mystery is why cups accepts  to answer with
http://localhost:631 but with http://localhost.home:631 I get: 400
Requête incorrecte

???

Thanks for the suggestions
