See: http://trac.tools.ietf.org/wg/httpbis/trac/changeset/715 new text: 582 The host identifier within an <x:ref>authority</x:ref> component is 583 defined in <xref target="RFC3986" x:fmt="," x:sec="3.2.2"/>. If host is 584 provided as an IP literal or IPv4 address, then the HTTP server is any 585 listener on the indicated TCP port at that IP address. If host is a 586 registered name, then that name is considered an indirect identifier 587 and the recipient might use a name resolution service, such as DNS, 588 to find the address of a listener for that host. 589 The host &MUST-NOT; be empty; if an "http" URI is received with an 590 empty host, then it &MUST; be rejected as invalid. 591 If the port subcomponent is empty or not given, then TCP port 80 is 592 assumed (the default reserved port for WWW services). -- Mark Nottingham http://www.mnot.net/
