Summary: Host header omits port number

Initial Comment:
The tracker won't let me comment or reopen bug 3487618, so unfortunately I have to open a new one.

I think you misunderstood the bug report. The problem isn't that the DEFAULT port of 80 isn't included on the header.

The problem is that NON-DEFAULT ports are not included on the header. If you read the RFC, yes, if it is port 80 you can omit the port number on the header. However, if the port number is NOT 80, then you have to include the port number on the header.

You wrote:

"It is also the result of testing as lots of sites actually
break when the default port numbers are provided, or at least they did
years ago when curl did it unconditionally."

I am not saying the default port number should be included in the header, which is why I think you read my bug report backwards.

Thanks.
