When installing Magento 1.9.2, I couldn't go to the next step because a URL validation occurred that required entering a valid URL. Older versions of Magento didn't have this issue. I found the solution here. But I want to know the reason for this. Is there any security issue here?
Can you explain this?

I found an answer on Magento Community forum:

Its because localhost isn't actually a valid domain.since it doesn't have a TLD. I personally use localhost.com as mine so that it passes the URL checks. http://192.168.0.1/ etc.. is actually a valid domain which is why that passes the checks.

The is an option during install that says something along the lines of skip url verification that you could use if you're 100% sure you've got the right domain.
