Ugg... fix_hostname() in 1.3.30-dev (and previous) are broken such that it does *not* update parsed_uri with the port and port_str value from the Host header. This means that with a request like:
% telnet localhost 8888 GET / HTTP/1.1 Host: foo:9999
that the '9999' port value from the Host header is ignored!
When is fix_hostname() used? If it is used anywhere other than ProxyPass redirects, then it must ignore that port value. To do otherwise would introduce a security hole in servers that rely on port blocking at firewalls. I agree that ProxyPass needs to know that port number, but that should be handled within the proxy itself.
