But NetHopper DOES appear to send a "Host:" line!?

Again, see my other post. This works for me. As the actual example... I run
a site called "Boob! Dreamcast Research" at www.boob.co.uk. www.boob.co.uk
actually resolves to 207.241.137.86 -- which reverses to thegypsy.com --
another site of mine. Now, if you use a normal browser and go to
207.241.137.86 (i.e. by IP, no host name given), you will get the stuff at
thegypsy.com, of course.
If I go to "www.boob.co.uk" with NetHopper, I DO get the proper Boob virtual
host. I do NOT get thegypsy.com as I would if it was only IP. I'm running
Apache and it obviously sees the "Host:" line that NetHopper is sending and
gives the proper virtual host.
Now, maybe it isn't quite standard or something -- and that is why the other
guy's isn't working. Maybe Apache handles it a little better or something
than whatever his server is running.
Oh bah. After writing on that it suddenly dawned on me. I'm going through a
proxy server. heh. It must be sending the proper HTTP/1.1 request out, eh?
Heh -- sorry about that. Now it all makes sense. :)
