patch to make webxref set Host: header in HTTP requests none

Description Jonathan Kamens 2001-01-05 03:46:26 UTC 
When webxref sends a HTTP request to a server to verify whether a given URL
is valid, it should set the "Host:" header in the request, because
otherwise some servers (e.g., ones that are sitting behind proxies) won't
be able to process it.

I'll attach a patch.  The fix is very simple.

I applied the patch included in this report as well as the other patches you
submitted. You should see the unified patch in the webxref-0.3.5-12 package
located in rawhide the next time rawhide gets an update. I am resolving this as
"rawhide".
