Description

In documentation for version 2.40, section 5.9.2. Server Name Indication (SNI) Support it is said
"There might be use-cases where the SNIHostName is required to be set for other host than the host specified in the HTTPS request. For those cases, when the HTTP header Host is set, the SNIHostName is set for the host specified in the Host header"

When one sets the Host header with the HttpUrlConnector provider, the property *sun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders* must also be set to true.

Research direction

Start with the version 2.40 documentation section 5.9.2, “Server Name Indication (SNI) Support,” and verify the statement about setting the Host header with the HttpUrlConnector provider. Update that section to mention the required sun.net.http.allowRestrictedHeaders property; done means the prerequisite is clearly documented alongside the existing guidance.
