The CIDR notation 0.0.0.0 / 0 defines an IP block containing all possible IP addresses. It is commonly used in routing to depict the default route as a destination subnet . It matches all addresses in the IPv4 address space and is present on most hosts, directed towards a local router.
The name localhost is a commonly defined hostname for the loopback interface in most TCP/IP systems, resolving to the IP addresses 127.0.0.1 in IPv4 and ::1 for IPv6.As a top-level domain, the name has traditionally been defined statically in host DNS implementations with address records (A and AAAA) pointing to the same loopback addresses.
In computer networking, localhost is a hostname that refers to the current computer used to access it. The name localhost is reserved for loopback purposes.

A host is a node that participates in user applications, either as a server, client, or both. A server is a type of host that offers resources to the other hosts. Typically a server accepts connections from clients who request a service function. [4] Every network host is a node, but not every network node is a host.
If the username is invalid and/or the password is incorrect, the server might return the "401" response code and the client would prompt the user again. Client request (no authentication) GET /dir/index.html HTTP / 1.0 Host : localhost
