outpost firewall blocking http requests for no reason and without logging?

Hi. I am developing a site on local computer that is running outpost
firewall
The page that is pulled from http://localhost in firefox or IE
(running locally too) has images embedded in it; Images are pulled
from another "web server" running locally on port 8000 (it's java app
from onlineindicators.com, it runs w/ java Vm and acts as a tiny web
server).

When outpost firewall is running (allow most mode, all plugins
removed), images do not load in a random fashion - e.g. if you refresh
the page in either IE or Firefox some images appear and some show as
unavailable, and with repeated refreshes different images are
unavailable.
No new blocking entries appear in Outpost logs.

As soon as you shut the firewall down images show up without any
problems.

Is there any way to fix this?

You're setting there doing some kind of Web development with Outpost
sitting there on a machine, then what can be said.

If you're behind a NAT router, FW router or FW appliance, which you
should be doing with any machine hosting a WEB server, then Outpost is
not needed, disable it or get rid of it in the Web development work.

It's plain and simple.

I'm on my home computer so no external FW is available... is there any
way to fix outpost?
