 I just wanted, once, to use a subject line with capitals and an

 It seems however that in this particular case, neither Tomcat nor Apache
 httpd follow the rules, when they default to the .. default virtual host
 in the case where they cannot find a match between the Host: header and
 one of their defined virtual hosts.
 Doesn't the following say that they MUST return a 400 status ?

http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec5.html#sec5.2

No, they only have to return a 400 when they believe the provided Host
is invalid on the server.  Neither server treats hostnames that have
not been explicitly enumerated as being invalid on the server, and
this is not a requirement of the RFC.


Aha. Thanks for the clarification.

So how do you enumerate invalid hosts explicitly then ?
