State-Changed-From-To: open-closed
State-Changed-By: coar@decus.org
State-Changed-When: Mon Apr 14 11:41:16 PDT 1997
State-Changed-Why:
Sorry, Apache is behaving correctly.  From RFC 2068,
section 14.23

"  A client MUST include a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request
   messages on the Internet (i.e., on any message corresponding to a
   request for a URL which includes an Internet host address for the
   service being requested). If the Host field is not already present,
   an HTTP/1.1 proxy MUST add a Host field to the request message prior
   to forwarding it on the Internet. All Internet-based HTTP/1.1 servers
   MUST respond with a 400 status code to any HTTP/1.1 request message
   which lacks a Host header field."

Thanks for the report, though, and for using Apache!
