CirrostratusHi Ronnie,
You could check the Host header value for at least one alpha character. If there isn't one, then redirect to a hardcoded hostname with the original URI:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
Check if host header value contains at least one alpha character

Redirect client to the correct hostname, preserving the original URI
HTTP::redirect "http://www.example.com[HTTP::uri]
}
}
