Strange. This hints at a servlet container issue, because the
getServerName method is defined to:
Returns the host name of the server to which the request was sent.
It is the value of the part before ":" in the <code>Host</code>
header, if any, or the resolved server name, or the server IP address.
So, the Host header should really be preferred....
Anyway ...
