How do you call http_request on localhost?

The way I did it for now was to edit /etc/hosts to add an entry like:

127.0.0.1 myproject.localhost

Then start icx-proxy like this:

icx-proxy --fetch-root-key --address 127.0.0.1:8453 --dns-alias myproject.localhost:rrkah-fqaaa-aaaaa-aaaaq-cai -v -v

That way I can make HTTP requests to http://myproject.localhost:8453. You can pick a different host name and port.
