Um, this works fine for me. We have several virtual hosts on the same IP --
and NetHopper gets the proper page without any trouble. Yes, it is HTTP 1.0,
but it does appear to send the host field properly. In fact, here is the
NetCat output when I had it listen just to see what the header looks like from
NetHopper:
--- GET /test HTTP/1.0 Via: 1.0 CORNELIUS Host: dcg.com User-Agent: NetHopper/3.2 (Newton) Accept: text/html, text/*, image/gif, application/html, application/x-html, application/x-httpd-cgi, */* Connection: Keep-Alive ---As you can see, it does send the Host field. Just FYI.
As an interesting side note -- I thought that Newt's Cape was HTTP 1.1 compatible? If so, then why does it also send "HTTP/1.0" in the GET request? Or am I using an old version (Newt's Cape/2.1eX-2(NIE)) or something?
