How to eliminate need for "localhost" prefix in Edge, localhosted site

Your summary of my problem is accurate except for one detail: I can run localhost sites so long as I prefix their address with 'localhost', like this:

Code:

Code:

localhost\mysite\

That works. This does not:

Code:

Code:

mysite\

On all other browsers, I can access localhost sites just by putting the site name into the URL bar:

Code:

Code:

mysite\

On Edge, a localhost site MUST be prefixed with 'localhost\', like this:

Code:

Code:

localhost\mysite\

This causes a problem with relative paths. If I have a file in the root of mysite named info.php, I can access it anywhere in the site by an href of:

Code:

Code:

\info.php

The initial slash take you to the root of the URL. On all other browsers, since the root is mysite\, '\info.php' accesses:

Code:

Code:

mysite\info.php

...because 'mysite\' is the root. However, because Edge by default requires that the URL be prefixed with 'localhost\', localhost becomes the root. Thus, an href to '\info.php' means the site code looks not to mysite\ but instead to 'localhost\', since 'localhost\' is the root of the URL. In other words, it looks for info.php here:

Code:

Code:

localhost\info.php

And that's not where the info.php is kept. It's in 'mysite'. Therefore a 404 error is generated, for the file is not found when it is referenced with '\info.php'.

If Edge did not require the URLs of localhosted sites to be prefixed with 'localhost\', this problem would vanish.

It's important to understand that those same localhosted sites work perfectly in Edge when served from a live server, as 'mysite\', etc., is the defacto root in those cases.

Please let me know if you need additional clarification.

 

localhost

Hi ZAINAL

As explained on your other thread, this is an issue with the WAMP stack, use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost in the address bar and you will be able to test using that stack

So for example, use 127.0.0.1/SiteName/Index.html instead of localhost/SiteName/Index.html
