Synopsis: Apache requires Host: header even when given an absolute URI State-Changed-From-To: open-closed State-Changed-By: coar State-Changed-When: Sat Jun 13 15:06:51 PDT 1998 State-Changed-Why: The Host request header field is always required for all HTTP/1.1 requests. From section 14.23 of RFC2068: A client MUST include a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request messages on the Internet (i.e., on any message corresponding to a request for a URL which includes an Internet host address for the service being requested). If the Host field is not already present, an HTTP/1.1 proxy MUST add a Host field to the request message prior to forwarding it on the Internet. All Internet-based HTTP/1.1 servers MUST respond with a 400 status code to any HTTP/1.1 request message which lacks a Host header field. See sections 5.2 and 19.5.1 for other requirements relating to Host. The header field must always be present. Its value may be ignored, but it cannot be omitted. The Apache Web server is doing exactly what it is required to do. Thanks for using it!
