I know for a fact that you can with Safari, and seeing as HTMLViewer
uses WebKit (i think) I reckon it should work perfectly. If not, you
can always do 127.0.0.1.

I'm designed a media preview as part of an application and have

getting attacked by more bugs than I can workaround on both Mac OS
X and Windows XP. For example, closing an HTMLViewer in a
ContainerControl crashes the application.
So I said, "I'm a very good web designer/programmer, why don't I do
everything via HTML?" - kind of like Safari does for it's RSS reader.
This is easy. Writing the web server is also pretty trivial,
already done that. But the question arises: if the user is not
connected to a network, can I still access localhost urls? If not,
using an integrated webserver/htmlviewer simply won't work.
The reason I cannot simply generate HTML and push it into the
HTMLViewer is I need links and such to work, which means I need to
use the typical HTTP pull method, which means webserver.
So the question: can I access localhost without a network
connection? if not, can anybody think of a better way?
