My opinion is that we should probably drop all hostname verification
from Squid by default. It is not really our business to police the
use of hostnames within HTTP.

Sure, browsers who accept to send other than a-z 0-9 - . in hostnames
are strictly not RFC2616 compliant, but so what? I for one do not
have a problem with our request not beeing RFC compliant if the
request we received was not.
