### Description

This is related to #18124 where
we pinned the go versions in CI to 1.20.5 and 1.19.10.

go 1.20.6 and 1.19.11 now validate request host headers for validity,
including the hostname cannot be prefixed with slashes.

For local communications (npipe://, unix://), the hostname is not used,
but we need valid and meaningful hostname. Prior versions go Go would
clean the host header, and strip slashes in the process, but go1.20.6
and go1.19.11 no longer do, and reject the host header. Around the
community we are seeing that others are intercepting the req.host and if
it starts with a slash or ends with .sock, they changing the host to
localhost or another dummy value.
