https://softwareengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/298130/how-should-an-http-server-respond-to-a-get-of-an-absolute-uri-of-a-different-ser

...

(RFC 7230 § 5.5) HTTP servers which receive the absolute form of a URI in the request-line ignore the Host: header and use only that absolute URI for any further processing. The server then has to decide what to do with it.

...

While the RFC does note that this situation can occur, it does not mandate a particular response. If you are implementing a server capable of serving virtual hosts, you can do what other servers do and serve it with the default virtual host. Or you can decide to refuse such requests and explicitly serve a 403 Forbidden. (RFC 7231 § 6.5.3)
