[STR New]

For technical reason I need to print from local CUPS to a remote CUPS
printer.
The access is done through an SSH tunnel.
The remote CUPS says:
Request from "localhost" using invalid Host: field "172.16.1.1"

where 172.16.1.1 is a local dummy interface used by SSH to forward traffic
to the remote CUPS.
For the sake of completeness, the tunnel is opened from the remote CUPS
machine to the local one with a commmand like this:

ssh -C -N -T -R 172.16.1.1:631:127.0.0.1:631 -L 8080:127.0.0.1:631
root at localmachine

I think this very bug is related to this:
