I am using Jetty client v9 to issue requests to a server. The address of the server I specify has to be in the form of actual (numeric) IP address for various reasons not important for this question, but I would like to pass the assumed host name (i.e. FQDN, not numeric) in the Host header. I've tried the following:
request = httpClient.newRequest(url);
request.method(HttpMethod.GET);
...
request.header(HttpHeader.HOST, hostHeader);
But found that this has no effect. The value of the "Host" header included in the actual request is still the one from the URL (containing the numeric IP address). I did verify that 'hostHeader' variable above does contain the correct value (that I would want).
Can anyone provide some insight as to how to override this default behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

The code you have written is correct, and the value you specify via the header overwrites the one specified in the URI, as expected.
I just committed a test case that captures the use case you described, and works for me.
Perhaps you have a more complex examples that triggers a corner case, and it will be helpful if you can write a reproducible test case. If that is the case, please submit an issue at the Jetty Bugzilla.
