Problem

This simple proxy server <pre> var httpProxy = require('http-proxy'); httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) { var options = { host: "localhost", port: 5984 }; proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, options); }).listen(5000); </pre> if i change host:"localhost" to host:"subdomain.domainoninternet.com" if get 'Host not found' back, is this the "www . host" issue? https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy/issues/150 on a related question, is there a way to set request headers before they are sent to destination? (to set Auth headers from the server) thank you
