Let me also mention that I remember that back in the days when I wrote my first CONNECT requests, they were being ignored or not at least not treated well by many proxies when we did them without Host: header. I haven't checked this situation in a long time, but I would assume that this is still at least partly the case. Thus, doing CONNECTs host-less is already non functional in the real world. -- / daniel.haxx.se
