Do you have a proxy server involved?

The reason that I ask is "GET /" is correct for a web server.  The longer
version is what is sent by the browser to a proxy server.  The proxy server
then transforms that by removing the protocol and moving the host/domain to
the "Host" header before issuing the request to the destination server.
