# NSEtcHosts

> This project was a proof-of-concept that relied on a combination of factors unique to the time of creation 

> that have since been remediated by, among other things,

> the ubiquitous adoption of HTTPS, iOS App Transport Security, and `NSURLSession`.

> Insofar as this approach should ever have been used (it shouldn't)

> the aforementioned improvements to the networking stack render this project inviable.

> Suffice to say, this project is no longer maintained.

NSEtcHosts uses `NSURLProtocol` to intercept requests for specified host names, 

resolving them instead to a different IP address, 

similar to an [`/etc/hosts` file](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hosts_%28file%29) on a Unix system. 

(This does not actually affect the _actual_ hosts file used by iOS, 

nor does it affect routing behavior outside of the application process)

## Usage

```objective-c

[NSURLProtocol registerClass:[EtcHostsURLProtocol class]];

[EtcHostsURLProtocol configureHostsWithBlock:^(id  configuration) {

    [configuration resolveHostName:@"google.com" toIPAddress:@"98.138.253.109"];

}];

```
