\H option does not replace localhost with a host name

Details

    Description

      In MDEV-505, a prompt option \H was added. As I understand from the description, the main difference with \h is supposed to be the behavior for localhost: with \h it should remain localhost, and with \H it should become the real host name.

      I don't see it happen:

      MariaDB [(none)]> prompt \h > 
      PROMPT set to '\h > '
      localhost > prompt \H > 
      PROMPT set to '\H > '
      localhost > exit
      Bye
      $ hostname
      jessie
      

      And from the code I don't see how it could ever work:

              if (strstr(prompt, "Localhost"))
              {
                if (*c == 'h')
                  processed_prompt.append("localhost");
                else
                {
                  static char hostname[FN_REFLEN];
                  if (hostname[0])
                    processed_prompt.append(hostname);
                  else if (gethostname(hostname, sizeof(hostname)) == 0)
                    processed_prompt.append(hostname);
                  else
                    processed_prompt.append("gethostname(2) failed");
                }
              }
              else
              {
                const char *end=strcend(prompt,' ');
                processed_prompt.append(prompt, (uint) (end-prompt));
              }
      

      Note the capital L in the first line.

      In the original blog post it's both:

       prompt= connected ? mysql_get_host_info(&mysql) : "not_connected";
      -    if (strstr(prompt, "Localhost"))
      -      processed_prompt.append("localhost");
      +
      +    if (strstr(prompt, "Localhost") || strstr(prompt, "localhost"))
      +          if ( *c == 'h' ) {
      

      I don't know what Localhost part takes care of, but it's been there before, I suppose it's for a reason. Anyway, changing it back seems to make it work:
