In continuation with 9a05c1f574 ("BUG/MEDIUM: h2/h3: reject some forbidden chars in :authority before reassembly") and the discussion in issue #2941, @DemiMarie rightfully suggested that Host should also be sanitized, because it is sometimes used in concatenation, such as this: http-request set-url https://%[req.hdr(host)]%[pathq] which was proposed as a workaround for h2 upstream servers that require :authority here: https://www.mail-archive.com/haproxy@formilux.org/msg43261.html The current patch then adds the same check for forbidden chars in the Host header, using the same function as for the patch above, since in both cases we validate the host:port part of the authority. This way we won't reconstruct ambiguous URIs by concatenating Host and path. Just like the patch above, this can be backported afer a period of observation.
