rfc2817 seems to imply that CONNECT requests should include a `Host'
header, presumably with contents pretty much identical to the argument
of the CONNECT method.

The original CONNECT proposal by Luotonen didn't mention `Host' at
all.  curl doesn't send it, while Mozilla does.  I haven't checked IE.

Does it make any sense to send `Host' along with CONNECT?  I can't
think of a single good reason, except for the wording of the HTTP/1.1
spec that mandates the `Host' header in every request.
