IIS Localhost

Using IIS to host a local overlay that just has a single header in it (along with html/body tags) I've updated my local hosts file, created self signed certs, enabled debugger, viewed it locally, nothing works. The resource is just constantly listed as <pending> when trying to fetch index.html. I even tried launching with --allow-insecure-localhost and that didn't work. My assumption here is that it can't find the actual host (localhost) which is just troubling to say the least. Works when I set it to www.google.com.

Any extra information, please request. I'm at a loss now. Browsing locally works, curl works, everything works except OBS Studio.

Thanks,

I was able to figure this out. The issue was actually the configuration of the website in IIS. Apparently when you put in a "virtual" hostname you can no longer utilize localhost in the same way. Not sure exactly why or what, but leaving the hostname blank will allow you to utilize localhost.
Good Luck,
