Proxy localhost:port -> subdomain.localhost:another_port doesn't work

[PetrShypila]

Expected behavior

I have two running dev servers on localhost. I need to proxy a request from localhost:4000 to subdomain.localhost:3000

Actual behavior

On server launch I receive:
[HPM] Proxy created: / -> http://agent.localhost:3000
On request I see following message in console:
[HPM] Error occurred while trying to proxy request /config from localhost:4000 to http://agent.localhost:3000 (ENOTFOUND) (https://nodejs.org/api/errors.html#errors_common_system_errors)
And in a browser I receive following 504 response:
Error occurred while trying to proxy to: localhost:4000/config

At the same time requesting that endpoint in Chrome works fine.

Setup

• http-proxy-middleware: 0.18.0
• server: express@4.16.2
• webpack-dev-middleware@3.1.0

proxy middleware configuration

  app.use(require('webpack-dev-middleware')(compiler, {
    noInfo: true,
    publicPath: config.output.publicPath
  }));
  app.use(require('webpack-hot-middleware')(compiler));

  config.devServer.proxyConf.endpoints.forEach((endpoint) => {
    app.use(endpoint, proxy(config.devServer.proxyConf.config));
  });

  proxyConf: {
    endpoints: [
      "/config",
    ],
    config: {
      target: "http://agent.localhost:3000",
      secure: false,
      changeOrigin: true
    },
  }

server mounting

  app.listen(port, function (err) {
    if(err) {
      console.log(`Error during app launch: ${err.message}`.red);
    } else {
      console.log(`Server is listening on ${port}...`.green);
    }
  });

Has anyone found a solution to this issue yet?
I'm also getting a ENOTFOUND error, but my target is slightly different, but more or less the same concept.

Care to create a minimal working setup so it can be investigated?

Afterall I just started to proxy to another environment. So solution wasn't found

I've hit this as well. My path is correct for the target server. I can hit the same endpoint in Chrome (admin.localhost:8080), but the proxy middleware will not route it.

Update: I needed to add admin.localhost to my hosts file pointed to 127.0.0.1.

putting my local subdomains on hosts file solved the issue to me, not the best solution but ok
