response.sendRedirect() does not include port

"the servlet container must convert the relative URL to an absolute URL before
sending the response to the client."

The problem is that the port is not preserved in the redirect.  For example take
the simply jsp:

<%
                response.sendRedirect("snoop.jsp");
%>

When in a web browser (mozilla 1.7.2) the port is preserved (for this test case,
not all the time).  But telneting to apache/tomcat myself resulted in:

$ telnet login.d1segs.selectacast.net 81
Trying 199.107.233.211...
Connected to login.d1segs.selectacast.net.
Escape character is '^]'.
POST /redirect-test.jsp HTTP/1.1

                               ^^^^ See, no port.

Like I said in a web browser in this test case the port was preserved, but the
reason I was poking around in this is that in my real jsp the port was not being
preserved.
