Note that they are only ' ' because you initialized Host to all spaces; 
otherwise they would be stack junk.

Because you know they are ' ', you could use Ada.Strings.Fixed.Trim, but 
that's probably overkill for this case. Another way, and one that works 
even if the unused positions contain stack junk, is

Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line (File => Config, Item => Host, Last => Host_Last);
... -- No change to Host_Last
Server.Addr :=
    Addresses (Get_Host_By_Name (Host (Host'First .. Host_Last) ), 1);
