Error description

• When the HTTPRequest node is configured with the Follow HTTP(S)
  Redirection property enabled, the outgoing HTTP request does
  not include the Host HTTP header. This can result in errors such
  as HTTP 400 (Bad Request) or unexpected routing behavior on the
  server side.

  required.
