Description

# there is SSH tunnel that forwards 127.0.0.1:9293 to google.com:80
request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(URI("http://127.0.0.1:9293")).tap do |req|
  req.form_data = {q: "ruby"}
  req["Host"] = "google.com"
end

This code ignores host that was already set (it uses "#{host}:#{uri}"):

Net::HTTP.start(uri.hostname, uri.port) { |http| http.request(request) }

I encountered this bug when tried to connect to remote server using SSH tunnel (/etc/hosts isn't available to edit).

Resolution:

https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/projects/ruby-trunk/repository/entry/lib/net/http/generic_request.rb line 119

def exec(sock, ver, path)   #:nodoc: internal use only
-    if @uri
+    if @uri && !self['host']
      if @uri.port == @uri.default_port
