Description

Some firewalls will check the Host header in the request and see if it's in the white list. I wish there could be a command-line option to customize this field (and possibly, arbitrary header fields).

Research direction

Start by locating the client request construction and command-line option parsing. Define the supported Host-header behavior before considering arbitrary headers, then verify that the chosen option changes outgoing requests without breaking normal tunneling. The issue names no files or tests, so repository exploration is required.
