cURL + Laravel Valet + dnsmasq not working

Question

when I execute a PHP script which runs a cURL request to a .test domain that is setup on my Mac with Laravel Valet/dnsmasq, I get this error printed :

Answer 1

This problem is caused by curl versions, can you check your curl versions from terminal by

curl --version and php --ri curl

When you run php --ri curl you will see cURL Information => 7.63.0 this line.

Then you can compare your versions and you see which curl version is not working with dnsmasq.

I encountered this problem and my curl version was 7.64.0 in php.

For solve that issue:

You can uninstall curl-openssl, this command will remove last version of curl-openssl:

brew uninstall curl-openssl --ignore-dependencies

Then restart php:

brew services restart php

After restarting, php will see curl which is /usr/bin/curl and this version can access local domain.

Answer 2

Adding 127.0.0.1 to my DNS settings fixed this issue for me. i.e. System Preferences -> Network -> Advance -> DNS

And Run valet restart afterwards

Answer 3

I solved this by adding domain.test to /etc/hosts

i.e., in the hosts file add: 127.0.0.1 domain.test

Answer 4

....After restarting, php will see curl which is /usr/bin/curl and this version can access local domain.

After restarting too the valet: valet restart

Answer 5

Just spent the last hour on this. I had a similar problem with curl through PHP not resolving with Valet specially for SSL. I tried changing curl-openssl versions and also setting my domain in the host file etc. Nothing worked apart from the following:

    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0);

This is due to the valet SSL not being verified by Curl. Once I added this option to my curl request I was able to fetch data from my local valet url.
