Could it be possible to patch the browser to allow access to loopback IP?

The thing is I've been trying to access a local Nginx web server I've launched with KUAL in the Kindle's web browser, including this patched one as well, but I've hit the wall of not being able to access it with localhost or even with my own Kindle's 192.x.x.x private IP address.

The Kindle's web server works just fine, since I can access it from other devices, like my PC or my phone. The only device that can't access it is the Kindle, which runs the web server.

For now, I'm happy with being able to use my webapps with the file:// protocol. And I'm very grateful for that!
