Gadget definitions URLs with port number can't be shared #571

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Description of the bug/feature, or alias/deletion request. (For aliases use
the form old_url => new_url. For deletions, just list the URLs.)
==================================
Attempting to share or add via a the adde? link an iGoogle gadget
definition whose URL contains an explicit port number results in adding or
sharing the LabPixies Calculator gadget instead.  A workaround is to omit
the port number, which is only applicable for serving gadget definitions on
port 80. I don't know what happens for other ports, but :80 and :8080
definitely get the calculator instead.

PLEASE FILL OUT THE FOLLOWING FOR A BUG REPORT ONLY (delete everything
below this line for a feature, alias, or deletion request):

What steps will reproduce the problem?
======================================
1. Host a gadget on :8080, or just make the URL to an existing gadget
include :80.
2. Add the gadget to iGoogle.
3. Click "Share this Gadget", then click "Or copy and paste a link to this
gadget »". Copy the URL - It will have a :80 in the URL in the moduleurl
parameter.
4. Use the URL. Instead of the gadget you wanted to Share, you get the
craptacular calculator.

What is the expected output?
============================
The gadget I wanted to share in the first place should be offered to be
added to iGoogle..

What is the actual output?
==========================
The LabPixies Calculator gadget is offered to be added, then is added if
the user allows.

Which browsers have you experienced this on?
============================================
All.

Which operating systems have you experienced this on?
=====================================================
All.

'Fixed' is probably closest to the desired indicator of current status — 
adding
gadgets with custom ports is still not supported ('WontFix', at least not now), 
but
an error message should be displayed instead of the calculator being silently 
added.
