Over writing the host header does not work

Hi all

I'm currently trying to over write the host header using 3.1-beta using:

	setRequestHeader("Host", "www.google.com")

However httpclient seems to ignore this requests, or it writes over it again 
(I'm not sure currently sure what it is doing)

so if i do the following

httpget = new GetMethod("http://66.249.93.147/");
httpget.setRequestHeader("Host", "www.google.com");

etc etc......

It will send a request with the host header set as

Host: 66.249.93.147

and not

Host: www.google.com


Is this something I am doing wrong, or is a bug?

Thank in advance for any help

Thank you for your super fast responce!

httpclient.getParams().setVirtualHost("www.google.com");

did the trick.

Thanks again!

Hello Impy,

the value of the Host: header is controlled by HttpClient
and can not be set manually. Use the VIRTUAL_HOST parameter
to tell HttpClient which value to use:
http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/commons/httpclient/params/HttpMethodParams.html#setVirtualHost(java.lang.String)

cheers,
  Roland
