For several example drivers for quick internal testing we have added xml or json files under the Skyline DataMiner webpages for example:
C:\Skyline DataMiner\Webpages\ProtocolSimulations\SLC SDF\HTTP\2.0.0.1

We used to be able to run elements pointing to 127.0.0.1:80 with a HTTP Session:

<Request verb="GET" url="ProtocolSimulations/SLC SDF/HTTP/1.0.0.1/data.xml">

This would then successfully return data. This has stopped working in the last few months.
(perhaps related to the http to https change?)

-> 16:27:19 - Get for statusCode () had error : Error : 12029. [ERROR_WINHTTP_CANNOT_CONNECT] -> 16:27:19 - Continuing get for statusCode ()
-> 16:27:19 - Get for xmlResponseContent () had error : Error : 12029. [ERROR_WINHTTP_CANNOT_CONNECT] -> 16:27:19 - Continuing get for xmlResponseContent ()
Error : 12029. [ERROR_WINHTTP_CANNOT_CONNECT]

The pages are accessible through a regular browser.
We tried changing 127.0.0.1 to localhost or to the exact PC name to no effect.
We tried with and without bypassproxy.
I've had one other colleague on the most recent feature release with the same problem.

Is anyone else experiencing these issues or does anyone know a workaround to get this working again?
