Set the Host Header when using invoke-restmethod

Question

For some reason this doesn't work

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://localhost" -Headers @{"Host"="web.domain.com"}

I get the error

The 'Host' header must be modified using the appropriate property or method

But I can't find the method or property on how to do this.

Thanks

This is a bug that has been fixed in PowerShell version 4.0:

C:\PS> (irm http://localhost -Headers @{Host='web.domain.com'}).html

xmlns                                   head                                    body
-----                                   ----                                    ----
