send hostname?

Hi,

I'm just starting with varnish, I point my backend to a name based
server, but the name doesn't seem to get sent down to the backend
server. Is there some switch I need to get it to send the hostname
down with the request?

thanks,
-joe

Varnish will send a Host: header to the backend if it got one from the
client.

sorry about the delay, I've been occupied with other stuff.

Actually, Varnish will insert a Host: if there isn't one, but only
in the "fetch" case. Similar code was missing in the pass & pipe cases.

Fixed.
