<p>My ingress controller is working and I am able to access the service outside the cluster using <code>http://(externalIP)/path</code> using an HTTP GET request from a RestClient. However, I had to specify the <code>"Host"</code> header with <code>value = "host"</code> (value of my Ingress Resource) for this to work. Because of this, I am not able to hit <code>http://(externalIP)/path</code> from my web browser. Is there any way I can enable access from my external web browser without having to specify <code>"Host"</code> in the request header?</p>

<p><strong>Ingress Resource :</strong></p>

<p>I assume you want to use this for testing.</p>

<p>If you are using any *nix flavor OS (MacOS, Linux) you can add an entry to your <code>/etc/hosts</code> file, something like this:</p>

<pre><code>172.16.32.85 master1.saas.com
</code></pre>

<p>If you are using any Windows box you can add the same entry in <code>C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts</code></p>
