	When using GNU Wget, there's the --header= option:

--cut: (wget) HTTP Options --
`--header=HEADER-LINE'
     Send HEADER-LINE along with the rest of the headers in each HTTP
     request.  The supplied header is sent as-is, which means it must
     contain name and value separated by colon, and must not contain
     newlines.

[…]

     As of Wget 1.10, this option can be used to override headers
     otherwise generated automatically.  This example instructs Wget to
     connect to localhost, but to specify `foo.bar' in the `Host'
     header:

          wget --header="Host: foo.bar" http://localhost/
--cut: (wget) HTTP Options --

	It's my opinion that it'd be an improvement for Lynx to support
	a similar feature.

	I believe that it should read “the ‘hosts’ line” instead.  Like:

$ grep -E -- ^hosts /etc/nsswitch.conf 
hosts:          files dns
