RFC2068 Section 14.23:


   The Host request-header field specifies the Internet host and port
   number of the resource being requested, as obtained from the original
   URL given by the user or referring resource (generally an HTTP URL,
   as described in section 3.2.2). The Host field value MUST represent
   the network location of the origin server or gateway given by the
   original URL. This allows the origin server or gateway to
   differentiate between internally-ambiguous URLs, such as the root "/"
   URL of a server for multiple host names on a single IP address.

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