Description Scott Michel CLA 2010-09-13 19:06:23 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

If the host name handed to org.eclipse.core.internal.net.ProxyManager.tryGetURI is null, a NPE is thrown.

Host name can be null if the socket connection is to IPv6 localhost (::1). Unsure who is actually responsible for changing the host name to null, but defensively guarding against this problem is very straightforward.

Reproducible: Always
