Definitely don't put URLs in /etc/hosts.  I assume you meant URIs, but 
either way, neither one belongs there.  That file is for overriding 
what would otherwise be a remote DNS query for a singular host (for 
applications using the libc resolver), and should only contain 
hostnames, short hostnames and IP addresses.
