title: Is there a way to make a request to a site hosted on local IIS from a docker container?
body: <p>I've got a site running on my dev machine running in a docker container, and it needs to make a request to a site hosted locally on my machine, hosted via IIS.  I've managed to get this working by specifying providing the <code>extra_hosts</code> in the docker-compose.override.yml file,</p>
  <p>e.g.</p>
  <pre class="lang-yaml prettyprint-override"><code>    extra_hosts:
        - &quot;dev-gb.company-qa.com:192.168.65.2&quot;
        - &quot;dev-de.company-qa.com:192.168.65.2&quot;
  
  </code></pre>
  <p>However the bridge IP I've specified is unique to my machine - the next dev that pulls it down will have to discover this IP and change it for themselves.  Is there a cleaner, simpler way of accessing the site hosted on my machine without having to manually bind the host name to the bridged IP?  I've read about <code>host.docker.internal</code> but I've no idea <em>where</em> that is supposed to go?</p>
