Vcr: VCR not playing nice with Selenium (and Capybara)
When I put a cassette tag on a Cucumber featured tagged with @javascript (causing Capybara to use the Selenium driver), strange things start happening...
The first time I run it, everything happens as expected: the cassette records, the data is used, and everything passes.
The next time I run it (off the cassette), it fails with Unregistered request: GET http://localhost:9887/identify.
It seems that Selenium needs to talk to its server using that port (pinging it to see if it exists, in this instance). I'm not precisely just sure how VCR is messing that up, but it is.
It would probably be useful to allow localhost requests through (either configurable or by an @allow_localhost tag, or both).

I'm having the same problem on version 1.11.3, with rspec requests test with :js => true (capybara, selenium).
- The first time I run it, everything happens as expected: the cassette records, the data is used, and everything passes.
- The next time I run it (off the cassette), it fails with Unregistered request:
GET http://localhost:9887/__identify__.

I got over this by setting c.allow_http_connections_when_no_cassette = true in some situations.

@clyfe -- I recommend you use the c.ignore_localhost = true config option instead; it's specifically intended for this.

@myronmarston Thanks for c.ignore_localhost = true, it helped me. But I wanted to record a local service. So first I recorded it and then changed host in the cassette.
