Hi all,

I've been perusing the Apache website learning how to set up virtual 
hosts and came across the following:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html#compat
Apparently, the vhosts config won't work for browsers that don't send 
the "Host:" header, without some nasty workaround.

Does anybody know which browsers this is referring to?  I'm assuming 
this is just one of those things that is left in for legacy purposes, 
and that 99.999% of browsers today will be sending the "Host:" header. 

Just thought I'd ask and make sure tho...

Regards,
Ben
