>Description:
	the port http_get did not have provisions for testing specific servers in a multi-homed webfarm using virtual domains.  The enclosed path adds such an option, in which you can use the argument [-h some.particular.ip.address] to force the HTTP request to be made of a particular machine regardless of what your DNS resolves the URL you are requesting to.
>How-To-Repeat:
	use http_get
>Fix:

	apply this patch to http_get.c
