How to redirect to local html file in hosts?

Answer 1

The redirect goes from the domain name to the IP address. This time.
Once the browser knows the IP address corresponding to the localhost domain name (or whatever you redirect), it will access that IP address on port 80 using the HTTP protocol. Therefore, you cannot do without an HTTP server.

Answer 2

What is the end goal? Maybe a local HTTP server like Denver would suffice ?

Answer 3

This file is designed to translate domain names into ip addresses.
You can't do a redirect with it.

Answer 4

Try to share the folder and redirect to \\localhost\SHARED_FOLDER\index.html.
