Help wanted for running a localhost server

[brandowlucas]

Hello Forum and Wine devs, I am trying to run an application that requires a authentication with a website, and this website has been dead, so the only way to make this application run is by making a simple server script that runs on the localhost (127.0.0.1), block the access of the dead site in /etc/hosts and thus it allow me to run the app. I tried running this python script in wine but it gets an access denied error (and i know running with sudo won't help), so i thought about running the script on my local machine (linux).

So my question is, is it possible to make the application running in wine to use the authentication server running on my linux host machine, or even get to make the script run on wine itself?

I tried doing this trick(https://wiki.winehq.org/FAQ#Networking), but no avail.

Thanks for your time.
