Are localhost urls blocked in Android? Can I unblock them?

I'm looking to get audio/video working on my page in an android app.

According to this bug it appears I need to use a web server to host the files, because of a bug in webkit. I added a web server to my app, and it does work - on linux.

On android the files don't load. I enabled logging on my web server and it seems its never getting the requests. I can adb shell and use curl to access the files just fine, and then I see those accesses in my logs.

So my question is, is there some kind of policy on android that blocks an url like this?

http://localhost:8000/file/75d69666-b189-475e-9d8d-827d45ed3838

If so, how can I deactivate that policy?

Closed as I meant to ask this on Tauri discussion.
