    As stated in section 14.23 of RFC 2616 (Hypertext Transfer Protocol --
    HTTP/1.1)
    http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2616.html

    >A client MUST include a Host header field in all HTTP/1.1 request
    > messages

    e.g. Host: www.w3.org

    With the host information a reverse proxy can transmit the request to
    the correct web server.

    At least this is how I think it is working, I never really touched a
    thing like this.
