I suspect this is a regression introduced in commit 207cf150, included since 7.24.0. Avoid showing '(nil)' as hostname in verbose output by making sure the hostname fixup function is called early enough to set the pointers that are used for this. The name data is set again for each request even for re-used connections to handle multiple hostnames over the same connection (like with proxy) or that the casing etc of the host name is changed between requests (which has proven to be important at least once in the past). Test1011 was modified to use a redirect with a re-used a connection since it then showed the bug and now lo longer does. There's currently no easy way to have the test suite detect 'nil' texts in verbose ouputs so no tests will detect if this problem gets reintroduced.
