I didn't know it wasn't implemented.  It's possible you'll find some other 
routines as well that aren't yet implemented.  Quickly looking it would 
appear we have to fix that function for Symbian.  I think using 
RHostResolver and GetHostName() method you might be able to get the 
localhost:

http://www.symbian.com/developer/techlib/v9.1docs/doc_source/reference/reference-cpp/N10206/RHostResolverClass.html#%3a%3aRHostResolver

We also probably have to just return "localhost" in some cases since the 
local hostname apparently isn't available all the time on Symbian.

If you want to fix that and submit patches we'd be appreciated.
