Only "custom request headers" are matched against the list of "simple 
headers" and "Host" is not a custom header set by the EventSource 
implementation, hence there is no need to add it to the list.

In XHR Level 2 the custom request headers are the "author request 
headers". An option would be to always match the list of simple headers 
against author request headers only.
