RFR: JDK-8262899: TestRedirectLinks fails

Please review a trivial change to fix this test when run behind a firewall with a proxy set.

Previously, the test used `InetAddress.getLocalHost` which returns an IP address for the current host.  It runs a temporary local web server on that address, but since the address is typically not on the `nonProxyHosts` list, the attempted access to the web server goes to the proxy, and fails.

The fix is to explicitly use `127.0.0.1`, which should never go to a proxy, if one is set.
