As I said earlier, it doesn't make sense to put "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" in the "Host" header field.

Yep not looking good, you need to try and add the actual IP of the local server..... not local: and not loopback

Thank you very much guys, your answers were very helpful!
I have one more question. How can i receive a request from server on the clientmode esp?
For example i want to change the state of any output pin, how to send it to this esp from server?

In the previous case, your ESP was used as a client to the server, in such mode, server can only send commands by making ESP doing polling on the server, asking the server "do you wish I do something ?".
This method isn't efficient and will be slow.
The real way to do that, is that ESP should become a server by it own, waiting for remote request from the other computer with PHP code doing acting as a client. For exemple, an HTTP request could be something like "http://<esp_ip_addr>/gpio/<gpio_number>/ON" and "http://<esp_ip_addr>/gpio/<gpio_number>/OFF".
