Component:  Torbutton    |        Version:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 When the user types a URL with a named exit node into the address bar
 (e.g. http://www.torproject.org.foobar.exit/), torbutton currently
 includes the exit node name in the HTTP "Host" header in the request.
 Instead, torbutton should rewrite the HTTP Host header to remove
 ".foobar.exit", so that it only contains the original hostname (i.e.
 "Host: www.torproject.org"). The current behavior leads to errors in cases
 where multiple sites are hosted by the same server.
