[Simpletest-support] Is it possible to force Scriptable Browser to resolve unresolvable domain name to specified IP address?

[Alexei A. <ale...@gm...>]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use Scriptable Browser 
<http://www.simpletest.org/en/browser_documentation.html> part of 
SimpleTest to automate a PHP application configuration - i.e. the 
application I work with has it's own configuration script which is 
accessible via HTTP. I successfully managed to use Scriptable Browser to 
connect and pass the configuration script, it works OK.

But as always it's not always that easy - in some cases the domain name 
where application resides is not resolvable, in this case I need to be 
able to force Scriptable Browser to connect to the IP I specify as if 
the domain name resolved to that IP. I know it can be done by modifying 
hosts file, but that is not an option for me, I don't have access there 
from the script.

Is there any way to alter the way Scriptable Browser resolves domain 
names, like some local hosts file/table?

Thanks!
