@pdavis This is awesome, and definitely put a smile on my face. But it still hasn't solved my issue. Do I also need to add the fakename to virtual hosts in WAMP for it to work? I get the same error as above, just fakename instead of localhost.

Did you use "fakename" exactly? It's possible that it might need to look more like a real domain (e.g. "fakename.com"). It's also possible that browsers are smarter now than when I first employed this trick a few years ago.

Unfortunately even using .com doesn't work - the same result.

@chilimatic thoughts?

@pdavis Please see update.

@hipkiss91 I am currently in spain on a guitar workshop :) so I don't have the time today :) I'll have a look tomorrow :) you could proxy with nginx, you could use something like dnsmaq and configure certain wildcard domains *.domain.name to resolve to certain IP addresses it's as easys as /etc/hosts but you can actually define patterns that match :)

but as I mentioned :) I will try to answer tomorrow :) if you don't have a solution till then :D

@chilimatic Thanks, appreciated. I believe I've found the answer and will update my question when I'm back on my other machine. But I'll be using a regex with allowed file types the apache mods are something like Rewrite and ProxyPass/ ProxyPassMatch. :)
