Can't do HTTP Requests to localhost? [closed]

So basically I can't do any HTTP Requests to http://localhost. It displays the following error:

49:52.142 - http://localhost/robloxalt/getsid?auth=&pid=0: HttpSendRequest, err=0x2EFD
49:52.143 - Script 'Workspace.HttpScript', Line 49 - global HttpReq
49:52.144 - Script 'Workspace.HttpScript', Line 114
49:52.144 - Stack End

My code is as following:

1function HttpReq(address)
2    printConsole("Log", "Doing request: "..address)
3    local rep=game.HttpService:GetAsync(address)
4    printConsole("Log", "Got reply: "..rep)
5    return rep
6end
7local sid=HttpReq("http://"..url.."/getsid?auth=".._G.SettingsModule.AuthCode.."&pid="..pid)

However, I can easily do HTTP Requests to my public server.

EDIT: I forgot my web server listens to the port 8080. So I changed my first line to this:

`1`	`local` `url` `=` `"localhost:8080/robloxalt"`

Now it shows the following error:

01:58.948 - Not Found
01:58.948 - Script 'Workspace.HttpScript', Line 49 - global HttpReq
01:58.948 - Script 'Workspace.HttpScript', Line 114
01:58.948 - Stack End

Is this a 404 error? The file I'm requesting should be there...

EDIT 2: See my answer below.

I forgot my server requires me to put the extension to the end of my file name, which my public server doesn't. I fixed it with changing the last line to this:

`1`	`local` `sid=HttpReq("http://"..url.."/getsid.php?auth=".._G.SettingsModule.AuthCode.."&pid="..pid)`
