CGI servlet misses to include port number in HTTP_HOST environment variable

           Summary: CGI servlet misses to include port number in HTTP_HOST
                    environment variable
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.0.1 Final
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: FreeBSD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Catalina
        AssignedTo: tomcat-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: Georg.Koltermann@mscsoftware.com


The HTTP_HOST environment variable reflects the value of the
"host" request header.  This works well with practically any
standard web server.

Tomcat 4.0.1 sets this variable incorrectly, giving just the
bare host name without the port number.

The problem can be seen by running the following simple CGI script
once on a normal web server (on a custom port) and then
on Tomcat (on a custom port).

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

my $http_host = $ENV{HTTP_HOST};

print "HTTP_HOST was $http_host\n";

exit 0;
