FireBug Lite on IE Capturing localhost Traffic

Question

I am trying to use FireBug Lite on IE to capture localhost traffic but it seems like FireBug Lite is not able to read the traffic on localhost. Is there any workaround?

Answer 1

Use the IP address or relative paths instead of localhost. The Same-Origin-Policy prevents the request, since the name localhost does not match the target URL.
