Names may contain the wildcard

The point he tried to get through was that the wildcard match works fine when
you do:
curl https://github.com/
but not when you do:
curl https://207.97.227.239/ -H "Host: github.com"
I am of the opinion that the latter approach should work, as it is a VERY
convenient way to test local installations, load ballancers, "escape" DNS
round robins and more.
My commits yesterday meant to fix this, but they were a bit too simple (didn't
work) and I'll go ahead and make some updates to it today.
