No. The framework sets the host header implicitly. Is it harmful for
your destination server?

Not for web server but for proxy server. I have a proxy server that acts
differently when it gets Host header and when it doesn't. I need to test it
both ways of course so right now i can only do one way. Is there anything i
can do? if not than i guess i won't continue to use HttpWebRequest class.

I'm afraid not. It's one of the more annoying limitations of
HttpWebRequest :-(

OTOH, that proxy shouldn't choke on a Host header either...

You can craft your own HTTP request and send it using a Socket client...

GET /default.htm HTTP/1.0\r\n
Host: <host hdr value>\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

And you can repeat that request without the Host header line. And see what
the difference is in the proxy's response.

what proxy is this, btw?
