>Description:
Section 19.6.1.1 of RFC 2616 (HTTP/1.1) says:
Given the rate of growth of
the Web, and the number of servers already deployed, it is extremely
important that all implementations of HTTP (including updates to
existing HTTP/1.0 applications) correctly implement these
requirements:
- Both clients and servers MUST support the Host request-header.
>How-To-Repeat:
This fails because the HTTP server needs to be told that the desired virtual host is xml.apache.org, not 209.133.83.18:
ftp http://xml.apache.org/dist/LICENSE.txt
>Fix:
I also submitted this patch to the NetBSD GNATS database.
