I'm not sure you can set the HTTP::host variable quite like that (the wiki implies it's read-only). I'm just looking at it here with no time to test but try changing this single line in the "host" test block below: 

 
 if {$host ne ""}{  
           HTTP::host $host <<-- Change this line to: 
        }  
 

 
 if {$host ne ""}{  
          HTTP::header replace Host $host <<--this one 
       }

And give that a try. This should set your new host header.
