Not true.  The exception is thrown because the request contains an invalid port
number after the colon.

> Host:  tomcat.apache.org:www.apache.org   

The above is invalid.

> It looks like the HTTP 1.1 specification allows to do such call

It certainly does not.

> Host = "Host" ":" host [ ":" port ] ; Section 3.2.2

The first colon separates the header name from the header value; the second
colon, when present, separates the host name from the port number.

> Because http specification 1.1 support multiple host name

It does not.
