I think I'd prefer to use getHostAddress() and one of the multi
arg constructors for  URI/URL instead, as it makes it more explicit
that you're using the same address on both side of the connection.

Are we otherwise sure that the hostname would resolve to the
exact same address?

For instance:

jshell> InetAddress.getLoopbackAddress().getHostName()
$7 ==> "localhost"

jshell> InetAddress.getAllByName("localhost");
$8 ==> InetAddress[3] {
           localhost/127.0.0.1,
           localhost/0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1,
           localhost/fe80:0:0:0:0:0:0:1%1
        }

best regards,
