I don't know anything about the option, but I do know shell syntax. 
Those three variants are identical when presented to the shell.

Quotes are only necessary - and only make a difference - if the string
has characters in it that are special to the shell.  Letters and periods
are not special to the shell.

In all three cases, the program will see three arguments:

    -header
    Host
    oscp.example.com
