I think the problem here is that we currently "absolutize" all requests (
code 
<https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/release-2.3-dev/akka-http-core/src/main/scala/akka/http/impl/engine/server/HttpServerBluePrint.scala#L71-L78>
).

This will always fail with HTTP/1.0 request as they are always relative and 
don't carry a host header.

I think the requestPreparation Flow in HttpServerBluePrint needs its own 
shortcut that sends 400 responses on exceptions.
