Can a website host more than one application?
Application Gateway supports multiple applications each listening on different ports, but this scenario requires the applications to accept traffic on non-standard ports. This is often not a configuration that you want. Application Gateway relies on HTTP 1.1 host headers to host more than one website on the same public IP address and port.
Is the app listener bound to the same host header?
The ‘app listener’ web application, which doesn’t have a host header, can also be bound to the same ‘all unassigned’ IP addresses in IIS Manager but SNI is disabled for this web application and it has its own domain certificate (a wildcard for the apps domain).
What does the host header tell the webserver?
The host Header tells the webserver which virtual host to use (if set up). You can even have the same virtual host using several aliases (= domains and wildcard-domains). In this case, you still have the possibility to read that header manually in your web app if you want to provide different behavior based on different domains addressed.
When do you send a host header in MDN?
In the MDN Documentation on the “Host” header they actually phrase it like this: A Host header field must be sent in all HTTP/1.1 request messages. A 400 (Bad Request) status code will be sent to any HTTP/1.1 request message that lacks a Host header field or contains more than one.
