HTTP: Missing HOST Header Field
This protocol anomaly triggers when it detects an HTTP request with no Host: field. This can indicate command line or script access to an HTTP server.
Extended Description
An HTTP request having no HOST header field should be considered a protocol anomaly. The impact of this anomaly depends on how the HTTP server processes a malformed request.
