When the configuration web page launches, the URL automatically includes "localhost".  After configuring, the rest endpoint URL also includes "localhost".  This seems odd in that the purpose of the web adaptor is to make web services available in web applications to be accessed from the internet.  Please advise.

You can try replacing localhost with the machine name.

I installed Web Adaptor 10.1 SP1 on a Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard server w/ IIS 7.5.  When the installation completed, a browser window tried to open the configuration GUI through http://localhost:443/arcgis/webadaptor  ...The page never opens.  (This is in an SSL system.).  I changed the URL to https://localhost/arcgis/webadaptor and it worked (after clicking through the warning about the certificate being for a different hostname).

It also works if I use the host name instead of localhost.

Actually that is normal - you are pointing to the local arcgis server. But if problems you can use FQDN: http://computer.domain.com:6080/arcgis

Your web adaptor will not use port 6080, it will use port 80 and this will be external.

For Ivan.  Check the settings in http://localhost:6080/arcgis/admin/security/config/update

Make sure it is set to HTTP and HTTPS
