Function Details

getHostnameRegex()

Return a regex for a valid hostname.

There's not much point in being overly strict about what you'll accept in the HOST header, so I'll accept anything that's even vaguely similar to a hostname or IP.

parseHost(header=None, defaultReturnValue=(None, None), isSecure=False)

Parse the Host header.

header: This is the value of the Host header or None.
defaultReturnValue: Return this if the header is absent or malformed.
isSecure: Is the current connection over SSL? This will tell me the default port.

Return a tuple (serverName, serverPort).

We're not very strict about requiring the Host header.
