Hi I am trying to setup a http health check and I am trying to set the HOST as the server ip and port

Example

```auto
backend staging
        balance source

        option forwardfor
        http-request set-header X-Forwarded-Port %[dst_port]
        http-request add-header X-Forwarded-Proto https if { ssl_fc }

        option httpchk GET /health "HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: 10.10.10.22:4431"
        server v202 10.10.10.22:4431 check ssl verify none
        server v203 10.10.10.23:4431 check ssl verify none

```

This works for setting the host on v202 but not on v203. Is there a way I can have it set from the server line host:port

Thanks,  
Scott

your checkup has specific address, so it is checking that only

just keep generic  
like:  
option httpchck OPTIONS /

That will send HTTP/1.0 with no host.

I was hoping there might be something like

```auto
option httpchk GET /health "HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: %[source_addr]"

```
