i think i did consider that, but found that exception cases did exist
where URL != Host Header. i think those cases were cloud or co-hosted
sites, or load balanced sites (geographically, such as CDNs). i dont
have the logs anymore (or have to search further to find them), but i do
recall finding cases where that was not a usable work around.

not sure what an RFE requires, so how might one be requested for this
kind of feature?
