 Hi!

 I have noticed that my Android phone when using Cyanogenmod with default
 browser does some "special" things when on 3G. (It does not happend via
 WiFi)

 It appears that the hostname is sent with every GET-request. Its common to
 only send the path in a GET-request but the HTTP secification also allows
 for the use of hostname within a GET-request.

 My test page ( http://h3x.no/dump/test.php ) shows the hostname in the
 REQUEST_URI via 3G, and skips the hostname when on WiFi.

 This causes Wordpress(i suspect) to redirect me to the wrong page.

 Example:

 I want the page:
 http://h3x.no/2011/09/12/getting-windows-2008-server-uptime-via-the-
 command-line

 My phone sends me to:
 http://h3x.no/2011/09/12/getting-windows-2008-server-uptime-via-the-
 command-line/http/h3x.no/2011/09/12/getting-windows-2008-server-uptime-
 via-the-command-line
