Problem using command-line: no -host default

[davenovak]

I've noticed a problem with the command-line version of Vault: if I do not specify -host, it will fail. Wouldn't it be better if it simply default to localhost instead?

Unfortunately this is not an "easy" fix for me. Yes, it seems simple enough to add a -host localhost option to my command line, but this command is being automatically generated by a third-party build tool. For reasons unknow, they "optimize out" this param whenever localhost is specified. (Yes, I've posted a bug report on their site too.)

One temporary work-around I have is to actually specify the name of the machine instead of localhost. That said, I do not want to go contrary to your documentation which recommends using locahost whenever possible.

It seems reasonable to me that -host should default to localhost if not specified.

I will put in a feature request. Thanks for the feedback.
