By default on intercept and tproxy traffic Squid verifies that the
destination IP address matches the Host: header domain or IP (called
'authority form URL'). The client will be presented with a 409 Conflict
error page and Squid logs a security warning if they do not match.

When set to ON, this option enables additional strict comparisons on
forward-proxy and reverse-proxy traffic passing through Squid.

These additional tests involve textual domain comparisons to
ensure that the client sends a consistent Host header for the
destination server mentioned in the URL.
