What issue are you seeing?
It seems impossible to configure browser access settings to allow download against a localhost server. This capability is needed for testing complex apps with outputs. Currently neither myself nor the agent can find a work around.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 01a04473-f5dd-7251-b617-24ea0ccf3fdb
What is the expected behavior?
Agents should be able to be authorized to download blob files from browsers via configured settings.
