How come Little Snitch captures an attempt to connect to an unknown external IP address when Shiira follows a link, even to localhost? Is Shiira spyware? There is an interesting discussion on the Shiira forum.

    Let me rephrase that: Shiira attempts to connect to 254.186.93.28 every time I load a URL pointing to my local webserver by name. It doesn't for any external addresses. I suspect this is a feature/bug that has to do with name lookups or something? It IS somewhat annoying given no other browser I know does this...

      I'm pretty sure 254.186.93.28 is an IANA-reserved multicast address.
