Answer 1

Step 1: Run cmd.exe as local administrator

Step 2: Run the command below to enable http on port 1234

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:1234/ user=Everyone listen=yes

Hint: The name of the user "Everyone" can differ and depend on your OS’s installation language. In German for example the user is not called "Everyone", but "Jeder".
