PHP cURL doesn't see the /etc/hosts file

Question

I\'m having troubles on making the PHP cURL library recognize the alias I created in my /etc/hosts file.

This is what I have in my /etc/hosts f

Answer 1

Solved using this url "http://192.168.0.20/" instead of "http://www.example.dev"

Also the "Host" header is needed...

$header = array
(
    "Host: www.example.dev", // IMPORTANT
    "Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8",
    "Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.3",
    "Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate,sdch",
    "Accept-Language: it-IT,it;q=0.8,en-US;q=0.6,en;q=0.4",
    "Cache-Control: max-age=0",
    "Connection: keep-alive",
);

curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'http://192.168.0.20/');
curl_setopt($this->ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $header);
