No. It's the PAC request. The browser as manually configured to use

   http://proxy.host.net:8080/ as PAC address.

This means that when the browser goes to fetch the PAC it's requesting

    GET / HTTP/1.1
    Host: proxy.host.net:8080

to the proxy on port 8080.

Well, it's the PAC request. PAC requests do not use the proxy. But in
this case the browser is configured to talk to the same address as the
proxy for fetching the PAC script.
