I am on a network that accesses internet via a proxy.
I have a java/struts application that I am running via eclipse(and Tomcat apache).
When I hit a url like http://localhost:8080/fooUrl, this is shown on the browser :
“Self-referential requests to proxy are forbidden“
I cannot disable the proxy as I need to access internet via my application.
Any suggestions, why I am being prohibited to make a localhost request?
In your Preferences>Network connections settings, did you specify the proxy bypass for localhost / 127.0.0.1 ?
These 2 rules are there by default.
