Question

Is it possible to load a JavaScript file with http://localhost as the source?

ex:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost:8081/signalr/hubs" language="javascript"></script>

I am using a script like this in my asp.net web application. It is working properly when running locally on my computer.

Once I put the web application onto a live server and I access the page that has the above script, the GET for that script returns status “aborted”. Is it possible to use this reference when accessing the website externally?

Note*: http://localhost:8081/signalr/hubs has a javascript script called Hubs.js. Navigating to it from a browser on the server displays the script.

Answer 1

localhost means the current computer.
It only means your server if the browser is on the same computer as the server.
