It can tell the difference the same way it normally does for an HTTP 
connection by the host header otherwise shared hosting simply would not 
work.

I think the real problem that can come from trying to use an IP Address 
is when a shared server has multiple IP Addresses for different users.

In this scenario if you use the wrong IP address then the web server on 
the end of the connection won't have a matching host.

The other problems that have come up are servers which are configured to 
not allow to connect back to themselves.
