PHPUnit-Selenium FirefoxProfile settings

[deepseerha]

I am getting a "Bad request" exception when starting a test run with Selenium WebDriver in Firefox. I traced this problem to hosts config file (using Linux). The hosts file on my machine has this line

127.0.0.1 something localhost

This works fine when I update hosts file as below

127.0.0.1 localhost something

But I cannot change this file. I found an issue related to this,

https://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=3280

People suggested solution for this as

profile.setPreference(FirefoxProfile.ALLOWED_HOSTS_PREFERENCE, "something");

Can you please let me know how we can fix this issue with phpunit-selenium framework ?

I think this kind of information has to be passed inside the desidered capabilities when you create a new session:

Here it is explained how with the Java API, but it should be the same by passing it with the REST API that phpunit-selenium uses to talk with the Selenium Server:
