Hi,

For testing purposes, I need to have mechanize.Browser to connect to a 
host different to the one specified in the URL. This is simulating the 
functionality of using entries in /etc/hosts, but configurable 
per-request. I have tried to do this using a custom HttpHandler, but I 
could not get my handler to be called.

An alternative option that would probably be acceptable would be to have 
a URL pointing to the server I really want to connect to, and change the 
Host header in the request. However, setting addheaders or calling 
add_header results in the Host header I specify being overwritten by the 
one in the URL (despite the code appearing to check that one doesn't 
already exist).

I am using version 0.2.5. How might I achieve my goal?
