That is not correct. Tomcat makes no changes to the Host or X-Forwarded-Host header it receives in the default configuration. > For my use case, this is highly > undesirable behavior, because the hostname is meaningful to my application > (but one application needs to handle all possible hosts). > > I've used the <Alias> entry to convince it not to change the Host headers > for one FQDN; however, I see that wildcard support in <Alias> doesn't exist > prior to Tomcat 8.5. As I'm using a hosted service which provides Tomcat > 8.0, I'm trying to find a workaround for this problem in Tomcat 8 if I can. The contents of the <Alias /> element has no impact on the contents of the HTTP Host header. > Is there any way to have Tomcat 8.0 have a single virtual host handle all > of a wildcard domain, or, barring that, is there a way to get it to pass > through the Host header, unchanged, to the default Host (effectively > directing ALL traffic at the default Host, unchanged, regardless). Use the default configuration. Note: If you use a reverse proxy and/or a distribution of Tomcat from somewhere other than the ASF (e.g. your favourite Linux distribution) then all bets are off and you'll need to refer to their documentation so see what the default behaviour is.
