           Summary: Base 10 IP Cause Invalid Host Header
           Product: Apache httpd-2.0
           Version: 2.0.54
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows XP
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build
        AssignedTo: bugs@httpd.apache.org
        ReportedBy: secure.box@gmail.com


Apache 2.0.54 does not recognize base 10 IP formats and so when it receives a
host header such as: "Host: 7763631671 \r\n" it parses it and finds one whole
number. I suspect that because of this, it thinks that it's a port instead of
the actual host.

Because of this, the url "http://7763631671/" would not work as the browser
sends the Host: in the header as "7763631671", however, the url
"http://7763631671:80/" would work as the browser sends the Host: in the header
as "7763631671:80" (Which can't be mistaken for a port #).

So basically fix the code parsing the "Host:" in the header so that it
recognizes the base 10 IP format.

I havn't delved into the code and most of the above is speculation.
