Help with localhost

Hi,

So I’m making and application that make a local server that can receive data from a http request made inside roblox studio. So I can combine my site with the game.

I reacently discovered when you play on a roblox server the http requests dont go to my localhost anymore but too roblox’s. (Kinda obvious if you think about it)

Anyway, how can I let the roblox server send its http requests to the clients localhost. without using things like tunnel forwarding, port forwarding. I’m trying to make the application easy to run so everyone who is not into IT can still use it.

short version:

How to get the clients localhost and send a http to that rather then to roblox’s own localhost.

It’s probably to do with security measures, hence why http data goes through Roblox.

This isn’t possible and don’t even try. There’s a very good reason you cant use HTTPService on the client and this is it.

Yes. This is what plugins like Rojo use. It cannot be done in-game, sadly.
