IE Cannot Access localhost

I recently installed Internet Explorer 11 and today when debugging and I found that I could not access localhost website.


But at the same time, Chrome and Firefox both work very well. I tried to re-install IE, go to factory settings etc., but the problem still exists.

Luckily I found out the solution:
It turns out to be that I have used proxy, and the proxy settings needs to be further set. Please notice that even I clicked "Bypass proxy server for local addresses", which means localhost will certainly not use the proxy settings, it doesn't work.


The solution is: Click the "Advanced" button, and add "localhost" in the exception list, please notice that you need to use a semicolon to separate items.
