Support for ProxyPreserveHost with mod_proxy_balancer?

["Gregor J. Rothfuss" <gr...@apache.org>]

hi,

i am trying to use mod_proxy_balancer with a backend that is in turn 
using name-based virtual hosts.

it seems that mod_proxy_balancer doesn't honor ProxyPreserveHost (both 
2.2.0 and trunk), and does not send the Host: header to the backend.

would there be interest in a patch for that or am i attempting something 
dumb?

thanks,

-gregor

The Host header should always be sent to the backend, not doing so 
violates HTTP/1.1. This sounds like a bug of some kind.

I can't recreate that here... Can you provide more info?
