Why is that your issue? This is how google configured their servers.
Read the NameVirtualHost directive; all requests to an unrecognized
host will be routed to the first (default) named virtual host in the
config.
You didn't expect Host: to act as some proxy service, did you?

Hi,
I don't quite understand the use of the Host: header field in HTTP 1.1
request. For example, I wrote a simple script to connect to
www.google.com <http://www.google.com> on port 80. After the connection,
I send the following GET request:
GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: whatever.com <http://whatever.com>
...
The web server doesn't seem to care what I put in the Host field and
always returns the google home page. Is this behaviour acceptable? Why a
HTTP 1.1 web server insists on the presence of a Host field but doesn't
seem to do any kind of checking on it?
Thanks,
Khoa
