I don't use WebClient, but I recall some posts about configuring it for 
proxies. If you're not on a corporate network, you probably don't have a 
proxy.

Previously, a newly imaged corporate machine would land on my desk. The 
IE browser configuration already had various domains configured to 
bypass the proxy. We developers had to test with Firefox, so we had to 
configure the proxy in Firefox. If "localhost" were not added to the 
bypass the proxy list, then we would never reach the app running on our 
local machine, because it would try to go through the corporate proxy to 
filter the "localhost" access.

In the /etc/hosts on my Mac, I have:

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

I can't remember whether I added the 127.0.0.1 entry, or it was already 
there. I do recall having to add it on some machine though. The 
127.0.0.1 is and IPv4 address, and (I'm no IPv6 expert) the ::1 is an 
IPv6 address.
