How to access localhost using HttpService in roblox studio?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello there. I’ve been wanting to access localhost using HttpService in roblox studio but when I do, I get this weird error…

127.0.0.1: Trust check failed

Heres the code I’m using, It’s fairly simple…

local httpsService = game:GetService("HttpService")
local data = httpsService:GetAsync("127.0.0.1")

What exactly am I doing wrong here?

Also, I’m fairily new to HTTPService so I might look like an idiot…

Try

 httpsService:GetAsync("http://your.ip.here")

What?? That still doesn’t work.

It works for me. Perhaps Roblox only accepts localhost and not 127.0.0.1 (even though they are the same).

Well… I didn’t have that python script running (I’m assuming it’s supposed to listen for when a request is sent to localhost), I wasn’t using RequestAsync, I wasn’t using any of those extra arguments, and I wasn’t using https://localhost:8000, so that’s probably why my code didn’t work.

I’m going to accept the solution for now, and when I’m done with school, I’ll check it out, and see if it works.

Thanks.

Yes, it’s just a web server.
https:// might fail because localhost is not signed (unless you did it yourself).
The port :8000 shouldn’t matter.
