Once deployed, access your canister locally with http://<canister-id>.localhost:8000/.
Note
Do not access this canister locally with query param http://127.0.0.1:8000/?canisterId=<canister-id>.
Using a param would lead to following issue in the browser:
Uncaught NetworkError: Failed to execute 'importScripts' on 'WorkerGlobalScope': The script at 'http://127.0.0.1:8000/vendors-node_modules_dfinity_auth-client_lib_esm_index_js.index.js' failed to load.
