How to Call localhost service from ATL VC++ BHO

Question

From BHO code if I inject javascript and there add AJax post call this is not allowed because of cross site restrictions. Any suggestions on this ?

Thanks,

Following code works for C# BHO :-

using (var wb = new WebClient())
                {
                    var data = new NameValueCollection();
                    data["user"] = "D";
                    data["id"] = "E";
                    data["token"] = "token";
                    var response = wb.UploadValues("http://localhost:8888", "POST", data);
                }
