It doesn't. The web browser waits for something to answer it. Go on,
try to get your web browser to connect to a non-existent server, it
doesn't immediately stop looking. If you load up a page that might try
waiting for a dozen different things before it will proceed and let you
read something, it's a pain.
That's why you don't use a non-existent server. localhost exists, so
you get an immediate rejection.
And, in my case, I do have a local webserver running.
That could be a problem. It depends on if it answers to only 127.0.0.1
or any localhost IP.
