[Interest] wss:// on localhost

1) For now I do accept that wss://localhost:wxyz is not possible because

2) I identified a workaround: Rather than a websocket I create a UDP socket on localhost and choose WebRTC within the browser in order to send UDP messages.

3) Is it worth doing further discussion about wss://localhost.abcd or do we have to accept also in the long term ? It would be a shame because it's such a convenient solution.

4) It's also a shame how the Internet has become - I still have a mindset of the year 2000 where the web was not really a significant resource of criminal intent. I understand this can lead to misunderstanding ;-)

5) Thanks for all the comments - I actually learnt a lot regarding security !
