Using 'localhost' instead of 127.0.0.1

Is it possible to have Textpad to use something like

http://localhost/something.php

instead of

http://127.0.0.1/something.php

when previewing a file like "something.php" on a local IIS server?

I know these are supposed to do the same job, but somehow, my proxy blocks the request when using 127.0.0.1 while it just let it go through when using localhost.

Thanks,

Sure, just replace 127.0.0.1 with "localhost", in Configure/Preferences/Folders.

So simple, yet, it works just fine!

Thanks,
