I have a problem with a request url,for example, I have the code below,

import httplib

try:
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("192.168.1.1")
conn.request("GET", "/")
r1 = conn.getresponse()
if r1.status == 200:
result = 0
except Exception:
result = -1
but the server on 192.168.1.1 accept virtual host request only.
That's to say, I need to specify a "Host:" header in the request.
How to do it? thanks.

Add a `headers` parameter to the request method.
See http://docs.python.org/lib/httpconnection-objects.html
Something like this (untested):

headers = {'Host', 'the.host.name'}
conn = httplib.HTTPConnection("192.168.1.1")
conn.request("GET", "/", headers=headers)
