My ingress controller is working and I am able to access the service outside the cluster using http://(externalIP)/path
using an HTTP GET request from a RestClient. However, I had to specify the "Host"
header with value = "host"
(value of my Ingress Resource) for this to work. Because of this, I am not able to hit http://(externalIP)/path
from my web browser. Is there any way I can enable access from my external web browser without having to specify "Host"
in the request header?
Ingress Resource :
apiVersion: extensions/v1beta1

I assume you want to use this for testing.
If you are using any *nix flavor OS (MacOS, Linux) you can add an entry to your /etc/hosts
file, something like this:
172.16.32.85 master1.saas.com
If you are using any Windows box you can add the same entry in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\hosts
