Localhost Support

SvenEV opened this issue · 1 comments

UWP apps can't connect to localhost. There are two options to solve that:

  • Kindly ask the user to enable loopback for WinSwag via command line (see StackOverflow)
  • Send HTTP requests from a separate desktop process which has access to localhost. Might prevent early certification.

For now, the app shows instructions explaining how to manually enable localhost-support via the command line. In the future it would be nice if localhost "just works" without the user needing to do anything. But that's only possible via a separate full-trust desktop process.
