[Bug-wget] Host header for CONNECT method

[Pavel Mateja]

Hi,
I tried new wget from debian squeeze with apache proxy and I ended with error 
message:
AH00569: client sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 
14.23): /
Apache source clearly says:
/*
 * Client sent us an HTTP/1.1 or later request without telling us the
 * hostname, either with a full URL or a Host: header. We therefore
 * need to (as per the 1.1 spec) send an error.  As a special case,
 * HTTP/1.1 mentions twice (S9, S14.23) that a request MUST contain
 * a Host: header, and the server MUST respond with 400 if it doesn't.
 */

Compare with wget source:
/* Examples in rfc2817 use the Host header in CONNECT
 requests.  I don't see how that gains anything, given
 that the contents of Host would be exactly the same as
 the contents of CONNECT.  */

The answer is: you will gain compliance to RFC and compatibility.
Check attached patch please.
