If you send the header used by Stefano (with the right host), you'll get the error I reported. So, it's not enough to specify the host name instead of the IP address, you should specify also a proper "Accept" tag (or completely avoid that tag). In other words, if you take Stefano's example and change only the host tag it won't work. Steve.
