title: Apache request header missing Host:, need to process request
body: <p>I have several devices with a tiny http client on them.  We tested them with my custom webserver and all is good.  Now I want to migrate to apache as my webserver, and my requests are getting shut down:</p>
  
  <p>client sent HTTP/1.1 request without hostname (see RFC2616 section 14.23)</p>
  
  <p>I know this error occurs because I'm missing the "Host: www.blah.com" entry in my header.  It's required per HTTP 1.1 spec</p>
  
  <p>RFC2616 section 14.23

  <p>The issue is I cannot change the firmware on the hardware, so the http client is what it is.  If I were familiar with this requirement before hand, I would have implemented it.  My question is:</p>
  
  <p>How can I configure apache (I think the authz_host module ) to allow requests with no Host: entry in their header?</p>
