Hi,

  The specification states "If the requested URI does not include an
Internet host name for the service being requested, then the Host header
field MUST be given with an empty value" but the grammar does not seem
to allow this.

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

should be changed into

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

regards,
