Results/Troubles

Trying to query https://subdomain.localhost/index.html with :

Google Chrome Browser

After accepting the self signed certificate, Chrome render the index.html file without any trouble.

Firefox Browser

Firefox failure, telling "Server not found".

Curl

Curl failure, telling curl: (6) Could not resolve host: subdomain.localhost

Wget

Wget failure, telling Resolving subdomain.localhost (subdomain.localhost)... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address ‘subdomain.localhost’

Question

Does someone know what I am doing wrong? I only tested in Chrome until now... what a bad thing this seems to be...

Research direction

Start by reproducing the setup from docker-compose.yml with the nginx-proxy image and the mounted certs directory, then compare hostname resolution and HTTPS behavior in Chrome, Firefox, curl, and wget. Done means identifying whether the failure is in nginx-proxy or the local hostname/DNS setup and recording a verified resolution; the issue names no project source file or test.
