netsh http add urlacl work like a local DNS?


I'm using netsh http add urlacl url=http://devsite1:80/ user=everyone as mentioned at http://www.hanselman.com/blog/WorkingWithSSLAtDevelopmentTimeIsEasierWithIISExpress.aspx to work with 80 and 443 SSL port, but web browser can't bind my http://devsite1 local address and them, nothing work.

Should be really have set line as 127.0.0.1 devsite1 at hosts file in Windows drive etc folder?

    My machine is called HANSELMAN-W500, so I'll use that name. You could update your hosts file and use a friendly name. To start, use your computer name. if you don't know the name of your computer, you're silly. Go to the command prompt and type "HOSTNAME" to find out.
