Running Apache 2.0.28 server on RedHat Linux
Set up machine, OS and Apache for IPv6 networking
Tried to download HTTP content by specifying the IPv6 numerical IP address
The Apache server is not fully HTTP 1.1 compliant.  
The server incorrectly expects a non-empty Host header even when the server is 
specified by a numeric IP address e.g. 10.158.7.52. 
The host header should be empty when the server IP address is specified using a 
numerical address.
Server incorrectly returns and 400 http server code.
