I propose that an additional keyword be added to the
UseCanonicalName directive.. something like 'HostOnly'.
When enabled, UseCanonicalName causes the server to
create any server-self-referential URLs using the name
by which it knows itself -- as opposed to what the client
may have called it. In many cases this is entirely
reasonable and good -- but it completely borks up the
ability to run on a non-default port.
So I suggest a refinement that allows the server to
canonicalise its hostname in self-referential URLs -- but
leave the port number alone, using whatever port received
the request.
So: UseCanonicalName {On|Off|DNS|HostOnly}
