Wget currently cannot suppress the host header, but you can change it
at will.
wget -d --header 'Host: FQDN' http://localhost/
...
GET / HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.10+devel
Accept: */*
Host: FQDN
Connection: Keep-Alive
This requires at least Wget 1.10 to work.
I was planning to implement `wget --header Host' suppressing the
generation of the Host (or any other) header altogether.
