Did you try http://127.0.0.1 as well instead of http://localhost?

If it's not working you can still edit your hosts file if you're under Windows.

The hosts file can be found here: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add the following line to the end of the file:

127.0.0.1 mycustomdomain

Now try http://mycustomdomain/

Edit all your .webm links too to reflect the new address, eg.: http://mycustomdomain/test.webm or http://127.0.0.1/test.webm
