title: Windows 8 Metro localhost lookup
body: <p>Is it possible to have Windows 8 Metro apps communicate with localhost (localhost/dir OR 127.0.0.1/dir) without running this command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>%windir%\system32\CheckNetIsolation.exe LoopbackExempt -a -n=[packageid]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Without running the above, the app refuses to communicate with localhost through http/wcf. From my research I found that the script is currently the only work around? Any ideas?</p>
