You may want to use an IP (or another DNS name) in the URL and still reach the right (Virtual)Host on the server by specifying a -H "Host: ...". The -H "Host:" existed already, and if it's used it has to be taken for the SNI, that's how the server will elect the appropriate VirtualHost if multiple ones listen on the same port. Regards, Yann.
