When a server receives the request the host is not given in the GET line.
the GET looks like :

GET /path HTTP/1.1
Host: hostname.

The GET line contains the host only in the proxy requests.

Although this is evidently a bug in libcurl, it will still work with
any HTTP/1.1-compliant web server. When a host is given in the GET
line, it overrides the value of the Host header.
