title: Xampp - Redirect external url to localhost
body: <p>I use an installation of Xampp to test my files locally before I upload them to my web server. My web pages usually contain a lot of 'hardcoded' links, which means to test any links (or any forms etc) I need to change the hardcoded link to point to localhost, and then rechange it after I am done testing.</p>
  
  <p>What I am looking for is a way to redirect an external url to point to my localhost folder, so I could set it as my website and then I would be able to make changes before I upload them. For example, if I were to enter 'www.mysite.com/example/view.php" in my browser, I would actually be looking at 'localhost/example/view.php'.</p>
  
  <p>Is such a thing possible?</p>
