RFC 6761 reserves names under localhost for the loopback interface, so a local development setup that serves its apps on names such as auth.localhost can return a test-mode checkout to them. A live key still refuses every loopback host.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Test-mode keys now accept localhost subdomains, such as app.localhost, over HTTP without requiring them to be listed as allowed hosts.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Live-mode keys continue to reject localhost subdomains as allowed hosts and checkout or portal destinations.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the checkout guide and configuration documentation to clarify the local-host rules for test-mode keys.

RFC 6761 reserves names under localhost for the loopback interface, so a

refuses every loopback host.

Walkthrough

The URL validation logic now recognizes names under .localhost as loopback hosts. Documentation and tests describe and verify the existing test-mode acceptance and live-mode rejection rules for these hosts.

isLoopback now recognizes names ending in .localhost. The documentation covers these hosts, and tests verify test-mode acceptance and live-mode rejection.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 611c5

Localhost subdomains now work in test mode. Names with a trailing dot, such as "app.localhost.", are still not treated as loopback. This is a narrow edge case with a simple follow-up fix and is not a merge blocker.

remove a trailing root dot from the host before checking for `localhost`,
`.localhost`, and loopback IPs. Preserve the existing live-mode restriction so
explicitly allowed `app.localhost.` URLs remain rejected in live mode.

Comment thread stripe/client.go Resolved
A host with a trailing root dot, such as app.localhost., is the same
host as app.localhost, but it was not recognized as a loopback name. A
test-mode URL on it was refused, and a live configuration could list it
and redirect to it. Hosts are now compared without the dot, both in
AllowedURLHosts and in URLs.

Loopback addresses are now all of 127.0.0.0/8 and ::1 rather than only
127.0.0.1 and ::1, so a live key also refuses 127.0.0.2 and the like.
