The port number inside the Host header is always USHRT_MAX (i.e., 65535) when no explicit port was set in the URL. This causes many webservers to return the wrong website (or a 404 response therefore) when they manage multiple name-based virtual hosts.
This patch handles URLs without explicit port correctly and does not add any explicit port number to the Host header when the URL also contains none. I chose not to set any explicit port in that case, because an explicit port 80 (or 443) can also cause trouble with virtual hosts.
