+Subject: [PATCH] reqs: improve stathost detection (#606)
+
+until now, only the basicauth code checked the host header, regular connections didn't.
+
+- add a new helper function to compare a hostname with optional
+  trailingcolon/port against the stathost.
+- add stathost check via host header before transparent proxy check,
+  else stathost might be misdetected as a trans host request.
+- refactor existing stathost checks to use the new helper
+
+this should make it easier to access the stathost, for example by
+injecting a host header into a curl command line with -H:
+
+    $ curl -H "Host: tinyproxy.stats" 127.0.0.1:8080
+
+the stathost can also be specified as an ip address, e.g.
+Stathost "127.0.0.10" + a separate Listen statement for that ip.
+in such a case e.g.
+
+    $ curl http://127.0.0.10:8080
+
+would work too, even if curl didn't add a Host header (but it does anyway).
+
