1660	Docs say $host header comes from the request line?	brackendawson@…		"These docs http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_core_module.html#var_host say that the $host variable takes its value first from the request line, this is confusing given the request line does not contain a host. I assume this actually means the value of the server_name?

I'm also seeing answers saying that it will take the value of $http_host first, which contradicts the official docs: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15414810/whats-the-difference-of-host-and-http-host-in-nginx

Which way round actually is it? And where does the value come from when it is not coming from the Host header?"	defect	closed	minor		documentation	1.15.x	invalid			Darwin alans-mbp.hursley.uk.ibm.com 18.0.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.0.0: Wed Aug 22 20:13:40 PDT 2018; root:xnu-4903.201.2~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64	-bash: nginx: command not found
