Map localhost to external domain

I am trying to forward my localhost site to somesite.com. I get the error message: Bad request - Invalid Hostname.

I am using IIS Express and I updated the applicationhost.config file binding protocol from :8080:localhost to the following:

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Amanada,

it seems that part of your message got deleted, would you mind reposting it? In order to prevent sanitization you might want to introduce each line of your code by the tab character.

With the info you entered I would suppose you want to be redirected to somesite.com upon entering http://localhost within your web browser, which can be achieved by admin-edditing %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. However, I'm not sure you wanted that, can you please elaborate?

Best regards,
Pavel
