Does check_http send a Host: header?

If you are using NameVirtualHost the UA must send a Host: header for
the server to serve the correct page.

As in, you may think you are checking
http://example.com/blog/blogging_about_blogging
but the server sees a request for
http://10.10.10.10/blog/blogging_about_blogging

What do the server logs show?
