Find Local Host Windows 8 Metro
Is it possible that Windows 8 Metro apps will bind to localhost (localhost / dir OR 127.0.0.1/dir) without running this command:
%windir%\system32\CheckNetIsolation.exe LoopbackExempt -a -n=[packageid]
Without executing the above application, the application refuses to contact localhost via http / wcf. From my research, I found that the script is currently the only one working? Any ideas?

I don't think your app will get certified and listed in the MS Store if you try to contact another app via localhost. As far as I know, all Metro apps should provide functionality independently of other software that may or may not be installed.

If this post via localhost is for testing purposes only, that's ok. But if you are planning to submit it to the Windows Store, you might want to consider your application.
