DisallowedHost, which looks like an unexpected side effect.
I'd call it "works as designed" :D The main idea here is that you need
`get_host` and `build_absolute_uri` ''usually'' in cases where you are
sending emails or providing redirect urls for other sites/apis. And those
are generally the cases where you'd want to ensure that you do not allow
invalid hosts. So by default this is an important defense line and should
stay on.
To allow access to the unvetted URI we've added ''get_raw_uri'' which
should work in your case -- I am closing the ticket as invalid, please
reopen if you have any questions there.
