[users@httpd] Port-based vhosts

["Porter, Mark" <Ma...@LibertyMutual.com>]

2.0.47 on Solaris

I have two vhosts defined:

Listen 81
Listen 82

<VirtualHost _default_:81>
ServerName server.domain.com:81
.
.
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:82>
ServerName server.domain.com:82
.
.
</VirtualHost>

The problem is that there's a bug in IE, where if it gets redirected from the :81 vhost to the :82 vhost (302 and a Location header), the browser's first request to the :82 vhost has the http_host header set incorrectly to site.domain.com:81, when it should be site.domain.com:82.

My question is:

How does Apache decide which virtual host config should handle the request with the bad http_host header? Does it look at the header, like a NameVirtualHost vhost does - in which case it will go to the wrong vhost, or does it look at the socket that was used to bring in the transaction?
