Delphi TWebBrowser specify port in url

I am using Delphi XE2 and the TWebBrowser component.

I have a server listening on port 8000. I can load my browser and specify the port in the url and get the correct response from my server using http://localhost:8000.

When I try to pass the same url to the TWebBrowser component, it seems to ignore the port number altogether and simply says "document not found" (and does not even connect to the server).

Normally, you can embed the port number in the url (if it is not port 80), but I seem unable to do this with the TWebBrowser component, so C1.Navigate('localhost:8000') does not work.

Is there any way I can use the TWebBrowser component with a non-standard port?

This will work if you include the protocol in the URL that you pass to Navigate:

C1.Navigate('http://localhost:8000/');
