Developing in localhost

Since cookies are not allowed to be set for localhost, your may notice your KM identity changing around when browsing from page to page. There are ways to work around this:

• Set up a local development domain. For example, edit /etc/hosts to include a line like 127.0.0.1 myproject.dev.
• Use http://myproject.localhacks.com/, which has a wildcard A record pointing to 127.0.0.1.

Either solution provides a cookie domain where the KM identity can be set.
