So which Host: fields do you expect to be accepted? 10.6.22.1, 127.0.0.1,
128.2.66.150:55555, localhost, or 0, (that is, a request without a Host:
field).

128.2.66.150 is *not* in the accepted list above. However, this is also not
identical to the request you were claiming didn't work before (that request
featured 128.2.66.150:55555).

This works because there is no Host: line, which means that publicfile looks
in the .../0 directory.

Publicfile looks in /var/public/file/${THE THING IN YOUR HOST: FIELD} for the
actual content. Simple as that.
