minor (command-line) client issue...URL with a port

[Chris Knight <ck...@mail.arc.nasa.gov>]

If I type "open http://host.domain.tld:80/dav" I get the below error message
(hence my e-mail.)  It looks like org.apache.util.HttpURL/GenericURI don't
parse the URL if given just the string, would it be worthwhile to re-write
it to parse out the scheme, port, etc from a string URL?

--- error below ---

Fatal Error: port out range:-1

Yes, I can confirm the bug.
This works: open http://127.0.0.1:8080/webdav
This doesn't: open http://127.0.0.1:80/webdav (and you get the exception you 
mentioned)
