If a client has determined that a given server speaks HTTP 1.1, should it really be considered illegal to omit the HOST header if an absolute URI is included in the request? And what happens to a 1.0 server when it gets an absoluteURI from a 1.1 client in the request? Isn't it the case that 1.0 servers (except for proxies) expect request URIs without the scheme, host, or port? Shel Kaphan sjk@amazon.com
