I'm an Stunnel newbie so forgive me if this question has been asked previously.

I am using stunnel to accept a connection from http://127.0.0.1:someport/url/to/wsdl

and connect to hostname.somewhere.abc:443

Everything is working fine with the exception of a certain endpoint that responds with an HTTP status code of 403 "forbidden". What I have determined is that the server is rejecting the request due to the HTTP "Host:" field value, it's set to 127.0.0.1. Is there anyway to pass the value of the config file "connect" property instead (in my case "hostname.somewhere")?

I have tried various config settings without success.

Config entry:

[testnesiis]

client = yes

accept = 127.0.0.1:1445

connect = testnesiis:443

;protocolHost = testnesiis:443

protocol = proxy

;sni = testnesiis

;transparent = both

Thanks and Kudos to the authors of stunnel !
