default ports in host header

Someone asked in 2011 how to trim default ports from the Host request
header. The answer from that time refers to deprecated code.
http://httpcomponents.10934.n7.nabble.com/Trimming-port-80-in-request-Host-header-td7402.html

What is the right way to do it now? This is the code I have at the
moment - https://github.com/internetarchive/heritrix3/pull/37/files

Btw browsers trim the default ports. Maybe httpcomponents should do
that by default?

Why do you want to rewrite the 'Host' header in the first place. Why
can't you just use default (no explicit port) in the request URL?
