DO NOT REPLY [Bug 41263] servletRequest.getRemotePort() returns incorrect value when behind mod_jk

https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41263

Just a workaround, not a solution:

You can use JkEnvVar to forward arbitrary data, which is available in the form
of so called httpd environment variables. The remote port fortunately is
available under the name REMOTE_PORT.

So in mod_jk you can set

JkEnvVar REMOTE_PORT

and in the java webapp you can retrieve the data with

request.getAttribute("REMOTE_PORT")

Obviously this is not spec compliant. You might be able to wrap the request in
a filter and overwrite remotePort() using the above call.

A final solution needs an enhanced AJP13 protocol.
