  If you use an http proxy then make sure that you've entered 127.0.0.1 in the "bypass proxy settings" edit box at the bottom of the "Proxies" tab in Network Preferences

  edit your httpd.conf file. replace all instances of localhost with 127.0.0.1
  i needed to do this to allow cookies to be set properly and referrer as well for dev purposes. loacalhost will no longer be recongnized but for my purposes i never use localhost anyway.
