If a network administrator wants to verify the case sensitivity setting on Vserver-CS-1, which option below correctly reflects the effect?

• A. It disables case sensitivity.
• B. It makes host header matching case-insensitive.
• C. It makes host header matching case-sensitive.
• D. It changes the vserver to a different protocol.

Answer: (C)

Case sensitivity for host header matching controls how the HTTP Host header is compared to the configured host name of the vserver when routing requests. When this setting is enabled, the host name must match exactly, including uppercase and lowercase letters, for the request to be served by Vserver-CS-1. That’s why the correct description is that host header matching becomes case-sensitive. If you turned off case sensitivity, or made it case-insensitive, different case in the Host header would still match; and changing the vserver’s protocol has no relation to how the Host header is matched.
