Description

As discussed in many previous issues, Windows differs from Unixes in that it does not resolve the loopback address to hostname "localhost". Instead, the host name remains unresolved as "127.0.0.1". TestDatanodeJsp fails on Windows, because it attempts to assert a string match containing "localhost" as the host name.
