Allow empty 'Host' HTTP header
Sending an empty string for the value of the 'Host' header no longer
results in a 400 (Bad Request) response. This new behaviour reflects
RFC 7230 and is particularly helpful for load balancer ping-style
requests, where there is often limited control over the HTTP request
headers.
