That's the official name of the server - not the name by which the page
was visited.  Ie, on visiting http://parrot.cnri.reston.va.us/mailman/listinfo

  HTTP_HOST: parrot.cnri.reston.va.us
  SERVER_NAME: www.python.org

I want to display the lists that belong to the effective host being
visited (the virtual host?), so i need the info contained in HTTP_HOST.
