Host name in URL not shown for https requests

See original GitHub issue

The current release displays the URL just fine:

https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=foo

The current development version, however, only displays the IP:

https://173.194.70.101/search?q=foo

HTTP requests are not affected. The issue appears first in 9130cd6.

Note to future readers: the cli option enabling host-header-as-url-authority is now --showhost

It can also be activated under the option menu (press uppercase O while in terminal mode) next to “showhost” (options are alphabetically sorted).
