Found myself needing to dirbust with a custom host header to hit the right vhost. Couldnt find it in the tool, so I figured I'd add it.

It the libgobuster http client is initialized with a host header, req.Host will be set from the header value stored in the struct.

Opened and issue for this: #271.

Hi @ryohare ,
thanks but this is wrongly implemented and will break VHOST mode. Currently there is the Host field on libgobuster.RequestOptions which should be passed from the single modes instead.

Ah sorry missed the exception, this should work. Will add a few modifications and comments to it, thanks!

I saw the Host parameter being passed in for the VHost mode, so yeah, I added it as the else in the if. Parsed out the host in the constructor for minor perf increases.

One thing I considered but would defer to the team here was adding the host parameter as an argument, like user-agent is. Just went with it as a header to make it a less significant user facing change....
