`Host` header always blank about echo

[aldas]

probably some optimization etc. As Request.Host is always filled there is no point to populate Request.Headers map with that value and use additional memory. Also if it is not guaranteed to exists as HTTP/1.0 does not require that header.

c.Request().Header.Get("Host") is not something that Echo touches. I assume that Go standard library HTTP server does not set Host into header as that same thing is in Request.Host field

I guess we could add middleware to actually set it back, but it seems incorrect (whether at the go level or echo) that it wouldn’t be set properly?

If you search Golang github you probably find answer there. I doubt you are first person to ask the same question. Also Request.Host field has comments. Probably in some situations you can do request without host header (probably HTTP/1.0) and it is deduced from the request url.

golang/go#14239 just "won't fix" weird...

I am closing this issue as I believe there nothing to fix/change from Echo side.
