cgi-bin: localhost

Hello,

We have the following problem:

When CUPS is configured to listen only on a fixed address (with the "Listen x.x.x.x:631" parameter), then the CUPS web interface doesn't work.
This occours because the CUPS web interface connects to ipp://localhost, but the CUPS service listens on x.x.x.x:631 (not localhost).

Example code part of CUPS ("cgi-bin/printers.c"):
  http = httpConnectEncrypt("localhost", ippPort(), cupsEncryption());

(almost localhost everywhere in the cgi-bin source)

Is it a bug, or a feature?
