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.
