Casperjs/Phantomjs does not respect hosts file

Question

I am trying to run tests against my vagrant box with lives at 192.168.0.100. In my hosts file I have 192.168.0.100 lc.mysite.com and the site loads fine and works normally at that url with chrome.

However, when I try and run my tests against it, the url fails and never loads anything. Remote urls work fine but the local ones are just failing.

How can I get casperjs to respect my hosts file? Or is it something else?

Turns out it was due to the url being ssl and it kept failing. Using this answer solved my issue.

If you are using a self-signed SSL certificate (e.g. on your development box), set phantomjs option

--ignore-ssl-errors=true

From the documentation:

--ignore-ssl-errors Ignores SSL errors (expired/self-signed certificate errors): 'true' or 'false' (default)
