I am trying to curl to my localhost laravel site. I am using XAMPP 7.1 When I try to reconnect this code always gives an error (instead of 200 OK response)

Fatal error: Uncaught GuzzleHttp\Exception\ConnectException: cURL error 6: Could not resolve host: test.example.localhost (see http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-errors.html) in D:\xamp7.1\htdocs\wittymanager\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php:185 Stack trace: #0 D:\xamp7.1\htdocs\wittymanager\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php(149): GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory::createRejection(Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\EasyHandle), Array) #1 D:\xamp7.1\htdocs\wittymanager\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php(102): GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory::finishError(Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlHandler), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\EasyHandle), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory)) #2 D:\xamp7.1\htdocs\wittymanager\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlHandler.php(43): GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory::finish(Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlHandler), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\EasyHandle), Object(GuzzleHttp\Handler\CurlFactory)) #3 D:\xamp7.1\htdocs\wittymanager\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle in D:\xamp7.1\htdocs\wittymanager\vendor\guzzlehttp\guzzle\src\Handler\CurlFactory.php on line 185 

 // URL = http://test.example.localhost/api/lang-sync
 public static function test($url, $data) {   
    $client = new \GuzzleHttp\Client();

    $res = $client->request('POST', $url, $data);

    $response = $res->getBody();

    if($res->getStatusCode() == 200) 
    {
        print_r($res);

    } else {

        print_r($response);

    }
 }

On staging server it is ok. Restarting xampp doesn't help.

EDIT:

test.example.localhost is already added on the host file.

This a wordpress plugin sending http request to a Laravel API.

This app is actually using https://github.com/hyn/multi-tenant. for the multisite integration

Can you ping it? If ping also says it can't resolve the name, that pretty much proves that your problem has nothing to do with php, curl and guzzlehttp but rather your DNS setup. - Ulrich Eckhardt

it reads:

Could not resolve host: test.example.localhost

open C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts and add this entry:

127.0.0.1 test.example.localhost

so that the host-name will be known.
